1.1“Tisso imā, bhikkhave, vedanā.“Mendicants, there are these three feelings.1.2Katamā tisso?What three?

1.3Sukhā vedanā, dukkhā vedanā, adukkhamasukhā vedanā.Pleasant, painful, and neutral feeling.

1.4Sukhāya, bhikkhave, vedanāya rāgānusayo pahātabbo, dukkhāya vedanāya paṭighānusayo pahātabbo, adukkhamasukhāya vedanāya avijjānusayo pahātabbo.The underlying tendency to greed should be given up when it comes to pleasant feeling. The underlying tendency to aversion should be given up when it comes to painful feeling. The underlying tendency to ignorance should be given up when it comes to neutral feeling.¹

1.5Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno sukhāya vedanāya rāgānusayo pahīno hoti, dukkhāya vedanāya paṭighānusayo pahīno hoti, adukkhamasukhāya vedanāya avijjānusayo pahīno hoti, ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, ‘bhikkhu niranusayo sammaddaso acchecchi taṇhaṁ, vivattayi saṁyojanaṁ, sammā mānābhisamayā antamakāsi dukkhassā’ti.When a mendicant has given up these underlying tendencies, they’re called a mendicant without underlying tendencies, who sees rightly, has cut off craving, cast off the fetters, and by rightly comprehending conceit has made an end of suffering.

2.1Sukhaṁ vedayamānassa,When you feel pleasure2.2vedanaṁ appajānato;without understanding feeling,2.3So rāgānusayo hoti,the underlying tendency to greed is there,2.4anissaraṇadassino.if you don’t see the escape.

3.1Dukkhaṁ vedayamānassa,When you feel pain3.2vedanaṁ appajānato;without understanding feeling,3.3Paṭighānusayo hoti,the underlying tendency to aversion is there,3.4anissaraṇadassino.if you don’t see the escape.

4.1Adukkhamasukhaṁ santaṁ,As for that peaceful, neutral feeling:4.2bhūripaññena desitaṁ;he of vast wisdom has taught4.3Tañcāpi abhinandati,that if you relish it,4.4neva dukkhā pamuccati.you’re still not released from suffering.

5.1PTS 4.206Yato ca bhikkhu ātāpī,But when a mendicant is keen,5.2sampajaññaṁ na riñcati;not neglecting situational awareness,5.3Tato so vedanā sabbā,that astute person5.4parijānāti paṇḍito.understands all feelings.

6.1So vedanā pariññāya,Completely understanding feelings,6.2diṭṭhe dhamme anāsavo;they’re without defilements in this very life.6.3Kāyassa bhedā dhammaṭṭho,That knowledge master is firm in principle;6.4saṅkhyaṁ nopeti vedagū”ti.when their body breaks up, they can’t be reckoned.”
