Thanks, Bryan,
The Pali text is from Abhidhammāvatāra-purāṇaṭīkā (Myanmar page 2.22, VRI 2.166)

The full text is:
819. Tikajjhānavahāti catukkanayena tikajjhānavahā, pañcakanayena pana catukkajjhānavahā, mettākaruṇāmuditā hi mettādīnaṃ somanassasahagatānameva ārammaṇattā pañcamajjhānikā na honti. Appanappattā hi mettādayo somanassena vinā nappavattanti. Catutthopi brahmavihāroti sambandho. Brahmānaṃ uttamānaṃ vihāro, brahmabhūto vā vihāroti brahmavihāro, so upekkhābhāvanāvasena catutthajjhāniko. Tatthāpi mettādivasena paṭiladdhajjhānacatukkassevetaṃ appeti, netarassa. Kasmā? Mettādīnaṃ nissandattā. Yathā hi kasiṇānaṃ nissandā āruppā, yathā ca samathavipassanānissandā nirodhasamāpatti, evaṃ mettādinissandā upekkhā. Āruppā catutthajjhānikāti aṅgasamatāvasena āruppāpi catutthajjhānasseva pabhedāti katvā vuttaṃ.
