A generic term to cover both forms of feeling is not found before the Vedanā of the Pāli texts. But we have the definite statement² that, when a man experiences pleasure, he acts, when he experiences pain, he refrains from action, while the Kauṣītaki³ asserts that pleasure and pain are felt by means of the body. - [Previous: v2.c40.s8.42](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.keith-1925.v2.c40.s8.42) - [Next: v2.c40.s8.44](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.keith-1925.v2.c40.s8.44) - [Up: v2.c40.s8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.keith-1925.v2.c40.s8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.keith-1925.v2.c40.s8.43](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.keith-1925.v2.c40.s8.43) · Pramāṇa
