[482] **The pleasant and the unpleasant have contact as their source (phassanidānaṃ sātaṃ asātaṃ):** In dependence on a contact (phassa) to be experienced as pleasant, there arises pleasant feeling (vedanā). With the cessation of that very contact to be experienced as pleasant, the feeling corresponding thereto — the pleasant feeling that arose in dependence on the contact to be experienced as pleasant — ceases; it is stilled. In dependence on a contact to be experienced as painful, there arises painful feeling. With the cessation of that very contact to be experienced as painful, the feeling corresponding thereto — the painful feeling that arose in dependence on the contact to be experienced as painful — ceases; it is stilled. In dependence on a contact to be experienced as neither-painful-nor-pleasant, there arises neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling. With the cessation of that very contact to be experienced as neither-painful-nor-pleasant, the feeling corresponding thereto — the neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling that arose in dependence on the contact to be experienced as neither-painful-nor-pleasant — ceases; it is stilled.
**The pleasant and the unpleasant have contact as their source:** the pleasant and the unpleasant have contact as their source (nidāna), contact as their origin, are born of contact, are produced from contact. Therefore it is said: "The pleasant and the unpleasant have contact as their source."
