diį¹į¹ha-Dhamma-sukha-vihÄrÄnaį¹š
seen [here & now, the] Dharma-[truth of] pleasurable-dwelling
See code phrase for 4 jhÄnas.
Generally means 3rd jhana, or any of the first 3 jhanas, or all 4 jhanas.
Passaddhi š : Pacification
This is an important topic that will be dealt with in detail elsewhere, such as
(7sbāļø) -> 5š. The reason it's discussed here, is because when done properly in (7sbāļø), one becomes deeply pacified from Piti/rapture, and then sukha/pleasure results, making samadhi natural and easy to do. People often think of themselves, "but I am relaxed." Are you really? Do you get samadhi easily? Piti? Sukha? If you are truly pacified/relaxed then you should be getting all of those other factors easily.
There is a big reason why I used the image of a huge wave š for passsaddhi. If you look at the jhÄna similes (AN 5.28), water is representing sukha, and piti is represented by the power and forcefulness of the water. The š wave image should make you think "Pacific ocean", the pacified, peaceful ocean.
phÄsu-vihÄraš: comfortable-dwelling
AN 5.94 phÄsu-vihÄra: 5 phasus are 4 jhanas + asavas destroyed.

PÄ«ti š: Rapture
PÄ«ti-sam-bojjh-aį¹
gaį¹: awakening-factor
ļ»æ7sbāļø ā 4š: As the fourth of seven awakening factors, it results as a mental rapture from the 3rd factor vigor, vigorously purifying the mind and leaving a clean conscience and rapture from being delighting in virtue. Or, it can be the result of sati remembering a Dhamma-teaching that is inspiring and gladdening, leading to vigor and rapture. That is, sati deliberately selects a particular Dhamma-teaching to recollect, in order to generate PÄ«ti. The term piti-pamojja are often used as a compound in the EBT, both terms pretty synonymous and having the function to deliberately have sati remember a Dhamma teaching that gladdens/inspires.
PÄ«ti: (as one of 7 jhÄna factors)
In the 4 jhÄna scheme, where PÄ«ti resides in the first two, PÄ«ti of jhÄna is exactly the same as PÄ«ti-sam-bojjh-aį¹
gaį¹ ļ»æ7sbāļø ā 4š. It is nirÄ-misÄ (not of the ordinary worlding) (SN 46), based on kusala happiness. The (7sbāļø) works as a causal sequence, but they are also 7 independent factors in the 4 jhÄna scheme. see article:
The 4 jhÄnas have 7āļø factors. Not 5.
Sukha š: pleasure
Sukha vedana in general, "pleasant", is often used, in contrast to dukkha of "pain & suffering".
In 4 jhÄnas, sukha vedana is primarily physical pleasure. In the 4 jhÄnas, the body
(kÄya)
is physical šøšāāļø, and feelings
(vedana)
by default originate from the physical šøšāāļø
See SN 36 and SN 48 where sukha is distinguished between sukha vedana, somanassa-indriya (mental), sukha-indriya (physical). Also SN 36 talks about niri-misa sukha (non-carnal pleasure of jhÄna).
