1"Bhikkhus, there are these two kinds of happiness. What two? The happiness based on form and the happiness based on the formless. These are the two kinds of happiness. Of these two kinds of happiness, the happiness based on the formless is foremost." [n.306] Mp: "The happiness based on form (rūpārammaṇaṁ sukhaṁ) is that based on the fourth jhāna of the form sphere, or any that arises based on form. That based on the formless (arūpārammaṇaṁ sukhaṁ) is that based on a formless jhāna, or any that arises based on the formless."
