[183]

[1] THUS have I heard:

Once the Exalted One was staying near Sāvatthī.

Then the Exalted One addressed the monks,
saying:

"Monks."

"Yes, lord," replied those monks to the Exalted One.

The Exalted One said:

"Monks, there are these five controlling faculties.

What five?

The controlling faculty of ease,
the controlling faculty of discomfort,
the controlling faculty of happiness,[2]
the controlling faculty of unhappiness,
the controlling faculty of indifference.

These are the five controlling faculties."
