तत्र, भिक्खवे, यञ्च सुखिन्द्रियं यञ्च सोमनस्सिन्द्रियं, सुखा सा वेदना दट्ठब्बा। तत्र, भिक्खवे, यञ्च दुक्खिन्द्रियं यञ्च दोमनस्सिन्द्रियं, दुक्खा सा वेदना दट्ठब्बा। तत्र, भिक्खवे, यदिदं उपेक्खिन्द्रियं, अदुक्खमसुखा सा वेदना दट्ठब्बा।
Tatra, bhikkhave, yañca sukhindriyaṁ yañca somanassindriyaṁ, sukhā sā vedanā daṭṭhabbā. Tatra, bhikkhave, yañca dukkhindriyaṁ yañca domanassindriyaṁ, dukkhā sā vedanā daṭṭhabbā. Tatra, bhikkhave, yadidaṁ upekkhindriyaṁ, adukkhamasukhā sā vedanā daṭṭhabbā.
In this context, the faculties of pleasure and happiness should be seen as pleasant feeling. The faculties of pain and sadness should be seen as painful feeling. The faculty of equanimity should be seen as neutral feeling.
इति खो, भिक्खवे, इमानि पञ्चिन्द्रियानि पञ्च हुत्वा तीणि होन्ति, तीणि हुत्वा पञ्च होन्ति परियायेना”ति।
Iti kho, bhikkhave, imāni pañcindriyāni pañca hutvā tīṇi honti, tīṇi hutvā pañca honti pariyāyenā”ti.
That’s how these five faculties, depending on how they’re explained, having been five become three, and having been three become five.”
