[669] "And with the fading away (virāga) of rapture (pīti)": herein, what is rapture? That which is rapture, gladness (pāmojja), rejoicing, delight, mirth, merriment, felicity, elation, satisfaction of the mind (citta) — this is called rapture. This rapture is calmed, quieted, stilled, ended, completely ended, destroyed, utterly destroyed, dried up, utterly dried up, terminated. Therefore it is said: "And with the fading away of rapture."
