Vaisheshika (school of philosophy)
Source: Wisdom Library: VaiÅ›eá¹£ikaSukha (सà¥à¤�, “pleasureâ€�) is one of the seventeen ²µ³Üṇa²õ (‘qualitiesâ€�), according to the VaiÅ›eá¹£ika-²õÅ«³Ù°ù²¹²õ. These ²µ³Üṇa²õ are considered as a category of ±è²¹»åÄå°ù³Ù³ó²¹ (“metaphysical correlateâ€�). These ±è²¹»åÄå°ù³Ù³ó²¹s represent everything that exists which can be cognized and named. Together with their subdivisions, they attempt to explain the nature of the universe and the existence of living beings.

Vaisheshika (वैशेषि�, vaiśeṣika) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. Vaisheshika deals with subjects such as logic, epistemology, philosophy and expounds concepts similar to Buddhism in nature

: archive.org: Illustrations of Indian Music and Dance in Western Indian StyleSukha (सà¥à¤�) refers to one of the forty-seven ³ÙÄå²Ô²¹²õ (tone) used in Indian music.—The illustration of Sukha (as a deity) according to 15th-century Indian art is as follows.—The colour of bis body is yellow. His face is similar to the face of a cuckoo. A ±¹¾±á¹‡Ä� is in hîs both hands.
The illustrations (of, for example Sukha) are found scattered throughout ancient Jain manuscripts from Gujarat. The descriptions of these illustrations of this ³¦¾±³Ù°ùÄå±¹²¹±ôÄ« are based on the Å›±ô´Ç°ì²¹²õ of VÄcanÄcÄrya Gaṇi SudhÄkalaÅ›a’s Saá¹…gÄ«topaniá¹£atsÄroddhÄra (14th century) and ÅšÄrá¹…gadeva’s Saá¹…gÄ«taratnÄkara (13th century).

Nyaya (school of philosophy)
: Shodhganga: A study of NyÄya-vaiÅ›eá¹£ika categoriesSukha (सà¥à¤�, “pleasureâ€�) and Duḥkha (pain) refers to two of the twenty-four ²µ³Üṇa²õ (qualities) according to all the modern works on NyÄya-VaiÅ›eá¹£ika.—Sukha (pleasure) and »å³Üḥk³ó²¹ (pain) are the special qualities (²µ³Üṇa) of the self. These two qualities are treated in pair, but these are not contradictory qualities. That means »å³Üḥk³ó²¹ is not the negation of sukha or the vice-versa. Both these are positive qualities. According to PraÅ›astapÄda sukha is a positive feeling which is produced from the contact of the sense-organs with agreeable objects together with the conjunction of the self and mind. These contacts together with the merit of the self-bring about a felling the effect of which is characterized by affection brightness of the eye etc. PraÅ›astapÄda also maintains that pleasure can be ²õ³¾á¹›t¾±Âá²¹ (produced by memory) and ²õ²¹á¹ƒk²¹±ô±è²¹Âá²¹ (produced by imagination). Smá¹›tija-sukha is produced from the recollection of past pleasurable objects. Saṃkalpaja-sukha is produced from the expectation of future objects.
While defining sukha and »å³Üḥk³ó²¹ in the Tarkasaṃgraha Annaṃbhaá¹á¹a follows PraÅ›astapÄda. Thus, in his view also that which is experienced by all with agreeable feeling is called sukha. Similarly that which is experienced by all as disagreeable feelings is called »å³Üḥk³ó²¹. However, it appears that he finds these definitions of pleasure and pain as not adequate and faulty and as such he offers a better definition of sukha in the DÄ«pikÄ. Pleasure is that which is qualified by the generality sukhatva generated by apperception (²¹²Ô³Ü±¹²â²¹±¹²¹²õÄå²â²¹) of the judgement ‘I am happyâ€�. The similar will be the case of »å³Üḥk³ó²¹ though Annaṃbhaá¹á¹a has not specifically mentioned it. He also says that the description of pleasure and pain mentioned earlier are only descriptions of their nature and not definitions.

Nyaya (नà¥à¤¯à¤¾à¤�, nyaya) refers to a school of Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. The Nyaya philosophy is known for its theories on logic, methodology and epistemology, however, it is closely related with Vaisheshika in terms of metaphysics.

In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Access to Insight: A Glossary of Pali and Buddhist TermsPleasure; ease; satisfaction. In meditation, a mental quality that reaches full maturity upon the development of the third level of jhana.: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper Names1. Sukha. A monk, generally known as Sukha Samanera. In his past life he had been Bhattabhatika (q.v.). In his last life he was born in the house of a supporter of Sariputta. During her pregnancy, his mother gave alms to five hundred monks, with Sariputta at their head. When he was seven years old, he entered the Order under Sariputta, on which occasion his parents held a special almsgiving lasting for seven days.
Once, while going with Sariputta for alms, he noticed several things, and like the novice Pandita (q.v.) asked the Elder numerous questions. Then he expressed a wish to return to the monastery. Sariputta agreed, and Sukha turned back saying, Sir, when you bring my food, pray bring me food of one hundred flavours. If you cannot obtain it through your own merit, you can obtain it through mine. So saying, he returned to his cell and meditated on the nature of the body. Sakkas throne was heated, and he sent the Four Regent Gods to keep away all noise from Sukhas cell. He also bade the Sun and Moon stand still. Sukha, helped by this silence, became an anagami.
Meanwhile, Sariputta had gone to a house where he knew he could get the food desired by Sukha, and, having eaten there, returned with Sukhas portion to the monastery. The Buddha, thinking that Sariputtas arrival might impede Sukhas attainment of arahantship, appeared near the gate of Sukhas cell and stood guard. As he stood there, the Buddha asked Sariputta four questions. When the last question was answered, Sukha became an arahant. Thereupon Sariputta opened the door and gave Sukha his food. Sukha ate it and washed the bowl. The Four Regent Gods left their post, Sakka let go the rope of the door of the novices cell, and the Sun and Moon started once more on their course. Evening at once came on, and the Buddha, on being asked the reason, explained that it was a usual occurrence when they who possess merit engage in meditation. DhA.iii.95ff.; op. the story of Pandita.

It is one of the three feelings (s. vedanÄ) and may be either bodily or mental.
The texts distinguish between the happiness of the senses and the happiness of renunciation (A. II), worldly (carnal; sÄmisa) and unworldly (non-carnal; nirÄmisa) happiness (M. 10).
See A.II, ch. VIII. - Happiness is an indispensable condition for attaining concentration of mind (samÄdhi, q.v.), and therefore it is one of the 5 factors (or constituents) of the 1st absorption (jhÄnanga; s. jhÄna) and is present up to the 3rd absorption inclusively. "The mind of the happy one has concentration as its fruit and reward" (A.X,1). - "In him who is filled with happiness, right concentration has found a foundation" (A.X,3).

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra1) Sukha (सà¥à¤�, “blissâ€�).—According to the 2nd century MahÄprajñÄpÄramitÄÅ›Ästra (chapter XIV).—Bliss (sukha) is of two types, internal bliss (Äå»å³ó²âÄå³Ù³¾¾±°ì²¹-²õ³Ü°ì³ó²¹) and the bliss of nirvÄṇa (²Ô¾±°ù±¹Äåṇa-²õ³Ü°ì³ó²¹). This bliss is not the result of the five coarse objects (rajas-). This mental bliss (cittasukha) is like water from a spring that gushes forth spontaneously from the rocks and does not come from the outside. By practicing the mind of evenness (samacitta), by observing chastity (brahmacarya), by practicing the ten wholesome paths of action, one is pure (Å›³Ü³¦¾±) and faultless: this is what is called internal bliss.
2) There are two types of bliss (sukha), the bliss that involves feeling (savedita-sukha) and the bliss that involves the abandonment of feeling (veditanirodha-sukha). In the latter, the five aggregates (±è²¹Ã±³¦²¹²õ°ì²¹²Ô»å³ó²¹) are completely eliminated and there is no further rebirth; this is the bliss of nirvÄṇa-without-residue.
3) Sukha (सà¥à¤�) refers to “sensation of pleasureâ€� and represents one of the twenty-two faculties (indriya), according to the 2nd century MahÄprajñÄpÄramitÄÅ›Ästra chapter 38.

The twenty-two Dharmas in question [viz., sukha] have the characteristic of being dominant in regard to the living being (sattva) in that which concerns: his primary constitution, his distinctiveness, his duration, his moral defilement and his purification.
