[499] "Bhikkhus, for as long as I wish, with the fading away of rapture (pīti), I dwell equanimous, and mindful and clearly comprehending, and I experience happiness with the body; I enter and dwell in the third jhāna, of which the noble ones declare: 'He is equanimous, mindful, one who dwells in happiness.' Kassapa too, bhikkhus, for as long as he wishes, with the fading away of rapture, dwells equanimous, and mindful and clearly comprehending, and experiences happiness with the body; he enters and dwells in the third jhāna, of which the noble ones declare: 'He is equanimous, mindful, one who dwells in happiness.'"
