[426] "Bhikkhus, there are these five cords of sensual pleasure (kāmaguṇā) … [elided in the Pali]. It is possible, bhikkhus, that wanderers of other sects might speak thus: 'The ascetic Gotama speaks of the cessation of perception and feeling (saññāvedayitanirodha), and he declares it to be included in happiness. What is this? How is this?' Bhikkhus, when wanderers of other sects speak thus, they should be told: 'Friends, the Blessed One does not declare something to be included in happiness with reference only to pleasant feeling (vedanā); rather, friends, wherever happiness is found, and in whatever way, the Tathāgata declares that to be included in happiness.'" The tenth [sutta]. The Rahogata Vagga, the second. Its summary verse (uddāna): Rahogatā, the two on Winds (Vātā), the Abode (Nivāsā), the two Ānandakas, the two Sambahulas are spoken of, and Pañcakaṅga together with the Bhikkhu. [Variant readings noted in the Siam Raṭṭha edition: the Burmese edition reads "Rahogataṃ, two, Ākāsaṃ, Agāraṃ, and two Ānandas; two Sambahulas are spoken of, and Pañcakaṅga with the Bhikkhu." The Ceylonese edition reads "Rahogataṃ, two, Ākāsaṃ, Agāraṃ, two, and Santakaṃ; two are spoken of with Aṭṭhaṅga, and Pañcakaṅga with the Bhikkhu." A further note: the Ceylonese edition reads "yamhi sukhaṃ" (for "yattha yattha … sukhaṃ"), and likewise below.] The Aṭṭhasatapariyāya Vagga, the third.
