Buddhist Dictionary

by late Ven. Nyanalokita Thera:

sukha: pleasant, happy; happiness, pleasure, joy, bliss. It is one of the three feelings (see vedanā) and may be either bodily or mental. The texts distinguish between the happiness of the senses and the h. of renunciation (AN 2), worldly (carnal; sāmisa) and unworldly (non-carnal; nirāmisa) happiness (MN 10). See AN 2, ch. VIII. - Happiness is an indispensable condition for attaining concentration of mind (see samādhi), and therefore it is one of the 5 factors (or constituents) of the 1st absorption (jhānaṅga; see jhāna) and is present up to the 3rd absorption inclusively. “The mind of the happy one has concentration as its fruit and reward” (AN 10.1). - “In him who is filled with happiness, right concentration has found a foundation” (AN 10.3).
