So only the three close contact( touch ,taste and smell) sensory cravings are to be eradicated or suppressed.
The other three ( sight, sound and thoughts) are used to access the above three.
If the close contact ones are eradicated or suppressed enough, we attain the Rupa jhana.
And if the other two- sight and sound, are eradicated or suppressed enough, we attain the Arupa jhana.
So a person, having attained the Rupa jhana, would he have cravings to see beautiful sights and to hear melodious sounds?
