[864] Furthermore, Ānanda, when a bhikkhu has heard a sound with the ear … has smelled an odor with the nose … has tasted a flavor with the tongue … has touched a tangible with the body … has cognized a mental object (dhamma) with the mind, there arises in him the agreeable (manāpa), there arises the disagreeable (amanāpa), there arises the agreeable-and-disagreeable. If he wishes: 'May I dwell perceiving the unrepulsive in the repulsive (paṭikkūla),' he dwells perceiving the unrepulsive therein. If he wishes: 'May I dwell perceiving the repulsive in the unrepulsive,' he dwells perceiving the repulsive therein. If he wishes: 'May I dwell perceiving the unrepulsive in both the repulsive and the unrepulsive,' he dwells perceiving the unrepulsive therein. If he wishes: 'May I dwell perceiving the repulsive in both the unrepulsive and the repulsive,' he dwells perceiving the repulsive therein. If he wishes: 'Avoiding both the repulsive and the unrepulsive, may I dwell equanimous, with mindfulness and clear comprehension,' he dwells equanimous therein, with mindfulness and clear comprehension. Thus indeed, Ānanda, is one a noble one with developed faculties.
