[410] When this was said, Pañcakaṅga the carpenter (thapati) said to the Venerable Udāyī: "Venerable Udāyī, the Blessed One has not spoken of three feelings (vedanā); the Blessed One has spoken of two feelings: pleasant feeling and painful feeling. As for this neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, venerable sir, the Blessed One has declared it to be included in peaceful, sublime pleasure."
A second time the Venerable Udāyī said to Pañcakaṅga the carpenter: "Householder, the Blessed One has not spoken of two feelings; the Blessed One has spoken of three feelings: pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling. These are the three feelings spoken of by the Blessed One." A second time Pañcakaṅga the carpenter said to the Venerable Udāyī: "Venerable Udāyī, the Blessed One has not spoken of three feelings; the Blessed One has spoken of two feelings: pleasant feeling and painful feeling. As for this neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, venerable sir, the Blessed One has declared it to be included in peaceful, sublime pleasure."
A third time the Venerable Udāyī said to Pañcakaṅga the carpenter: "Householder, the Blessed One has not spoken of two feelings; the Blessed One has spoken of three feelings: pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling. These are the three feelings spoken of by the Blessed One." A third time Pañcakaṅga the carpenter said to the Venerable Udāyī: "Venerable Udāyī, the Blessed One has not spoken of three feelings; the Blessed One has spoken of two feelings: pleasant feeling and painful feeling. As for this neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, venerable sir, the Blessed One has declared it to be included in peaceful, sublime pleasure."
The Venerable Udāyī was unable to convince Pañcakaṅga the carpenter, nor was Pañcakaṅga the carpenter able to convince the Venerable Udāyī.
