### [v2.c29.210](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.210)

Bahuvedanīya Sutta.—Pañcakaṅga asks Udāyī¹ how many kinds of feelings the Buddha mentions. Udāyī answers that there are three: pleasant, unpleasant and indifferent. Pañcakaṅga, however, insists that there are but two: pleasant and unpleasant. Ānanda, overhearing the conversation, reports it to the Buddha, who says that both Pañcakaṅga and Udāyī are correct because he himself classified feelings in various ways; sensual pleasures might be pleasant, but are not the highest pleasures; far better and more excellent are the pleasures enjoyed by a monk who develops the four jhāna, the plane of infinity of consciousness and the plane of nought.²
