SN 22.95:
B.Sujato trans.
... and the end of the verse section, we see jhana, S&S, upekkha, viriya, all operating simulateneously. avekkheyya is a similar word to upekkha,
So while you are in jhāna, there are 7 independent jhana factors operating (not 5), with highlighted items mentioned in the verse
B.Sujato trans.
“Pheṇapiṇḍūpamaṃ rūpaṃ,
| “Form is like a lump of foam; |
vedanā bubbuḷūpamā;
| feeling is like a bubble; |
Marīcikūpamā saññā,
| perception seems like a mirage; |
saṅkhārā kadalūpamā;
| co-doings like a banana tree; |
Māyūpamañca viññāṇaṃ,
| and consciousness like a magic trick: |
desitādiccabandhunā.
| so taught the Kinsman of the Sun. |
Yathā yathā nijjhāyati,
| However you contemplate them, |
yoniso upaparikkhati;
| examining them carefully, |
Rittakaṃ tucchakaṃ hoti,
| they’re void and hollow |
yo naṃ passati yoniso.
| when you look at them closely. |
Here's my more literal translation
“Pheṇa-piṇḍ-ūpamaṃ rūpaṃ,
| “(A) Foam-lump-(is)-similar (to) Form; |
vedanā bubbuḷ-ūpamā;
| experienced-sensations (and a) bubble-(are)-similar; |
Marīcik-ūpamā saññā,
| (a) mirage-(is)-similar (to) perceptions; |
saṅkhārā kadal-ūpamā;
| co-doings(and a) banana-tree-(are)-similar; |
Māy-ūpamañca viññāṇaṃ,
| (a) magic-trick-(is)-similar (to) consciousness: |
desitā-dicca-bandhunā.
| so taught the Kinsman of the Sun. |
Yathā yathā nij-jhāyati,
| However however (you use) jhāna (to contemplate them), |
yoniso upa-par-ikkhati;
| (with) careful equanimous-observation; |
Rittakaṃ tucchakaṃ hoti,
| they’re void and hollow |
yo naṃ passati yoniso.
| when you look at them closely. |
... and the end of the verse section, we see jhana, S&S, upekkha, viriya, all operating simulateneously. avekkheyya is a similar word to upekkha,
Evaṃ khandhe avekkheyya,
| in-such-away (should) aggregates (be) examined, |
bhikkhu āraddha-vīriyo;
| (by a) monk (with) aroused-vigor |
Divā vā yadi vā rattiṃ,
| with lucid-discerning and rememberfulness |
sampajāno paṭis-sato.
| whether by day or by night. |
Jaheyya sabba-saṃyogaṃ,
| They should give up all fetters, |
kareyya saraṇattano;
| and make a refuge for themselves. |
Careyy-āditta-sīsova,
| Carry-on (as if) raging-fire (on your) head, |
patthayaṃ accutaṃ padan”ti.
| aspiring to the imperishable state.” |
