Then the chamberlain Pañcakaṅga went up to Venerable Udāyī, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him,
6

“कतिka·ti नुnu खो,kho भन्तेbhan·te उदायि,u·dā·yi वेदनाve·da·nā वुत्ताvut·tā भगवता”ति?bha·ga·va·tā

When he said this, Pañcakaṅga said to Udāyī,
11

The Buddha said that neutral feeling is included as a peaceful and subtle kind of pleasure.”

When he had spoken, the Buddha said to him,

“santaññeva kho, ānanda, pariyāyaṁ pañcakaṅgo thapati udāyissa nābbhanumodi, santaññeva ca pana pariyāyaṁ udāyī pañcakaṅgassa thapatissa nābbhanumodi.

“Ānanda, the explanation by the mendicant Udāyī, which the chamberlain Pañcakaṅga didn’t agree with, was quite correct. But the explanation by Pañcakaṅga, which Udāyī didn’t agree with, was also quite correct.
