[1533] P. Should it not be said that there is lust for the disagreeable (asātarāga)? S. Yes. P. But was it not said by the Blessed One: "Engaged as he is thus in favoring and opposing (anurodha-virodha), whatever feeling (vedanā) he feels—whether pleasant, or painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant—he delights in that feeling, welcomes it, and remains holding to it"? Is there indeed such a discourse (suttanta)? S. Yes. P. Then indeed there is lust for the disagreeable. The Discussion of Lust for the Disagreeable (Asātarāgakathā) [is concluded]. __________________ Discussion of "Craving (taṇhā) for Dhammas Is Indeterminate" (Dhammataṇhā-abyākatāti-kathā)
