But I have also explained the progressive cessation of conditions.
Atha kho pana, bhikkhu, mayā anupubbasaṅkhārānaṃ nirodho akkhāto.

For someone who has attained the first absorption, speech has ceased.Paṭhamaṃ jhānaṃ samāpannassa vācā niruddhā hoti.
For someone who has attained the second absorption, the placing of the mind and keeping it connected have ceased.Dutiyaṃ jhānaṃ samāpannassa vitakkavicārā niruddhā honti.For
someone who has attained the third absorption, rapture has ceased.Tatiyaṃ jhānaṃ samāpannassa pīti niruddhā hoti.
For someone who has attained the fourth absorption, breathing has ceased.Catutthaṃ jhānaṃ samāpannassa assāsapassāsā niruddhā honti.
attaining first jhana vaci has ceased.
2nd jhana vitakkavicara ceases.

i wonder if there is not mentioned sankhara it would mean sankhara why vaci has become. So it is just vaci.

when it is said vitakkavicara is vacisankhara it mean vitakkavicara is the cause why there is vaci.

First you place the mind and keep it connected, then you break into speech. That’s why placing the mind and keeping it connected are verbal processes.Pubbe kho, āvuso visākha, vitakketvā vicāretvā pacchā vācaṃ bhindati, tasmā vitakkavicārā vacīsaṅkhāro.
So the kayasankhara is breath/assāsapassāsā it mean that the breath is the cause why there is kaya.

so to the topic,

rupa is form, it is made. And in jhana the progression is backwards that you take things lesser.
