1"Bhikkhus, there are these two kinds of happiness. What two? The happiness accompanied by rapture and the happiness without rapture. These are the two kinds of happiness. Of these two kinds of happiness, the happiness without rapture is foremost." [n.303] Mp: "The happiness with rapture (sappītikaṁ sukhaṁ) is the happiness of the first and second jhānas. The happiness without rapture (nippītikaṁ sukhaṁ) is the happiness of the third and fourth jhānas."
