miḷhasukhaṁ → mīḷhasukhaṁ (bj, pts1ed) | sevitabbaṁ → āsevitabbaṁ (sya-all, pts) | miḷhasukhaṁ → mīḷhasukhaṁ (pts) | sevitabbaṁ → āsevitabbaṁ (bj: PTS) | miḷhasukhaṁ → mīḷhasukhaṁ (cck: sī. pī.) | pañca kāmaguṇe → pañcakāmaguṇe (bjt)Now, any pleasure & happiness that arises dependent on these five strings of sensuality is called sensual pleasure, a filthy pleasure, a run-of-the-mill pleasure, an ignoble pleasure. And of this pleasure I say that it is not to be associated with, not to be developed, not to be pursued, that it is to be feared.

pavivekasukhaṁ → vivekasukhaṁ (sya-all) | sambodhasukhaṁ → sambodhisukhaṁ (sya-all)This is called renunciation-pleasure, seclusion-pleasure, calm-pleasure, self-awakening-pleasure. And of this pleasure I say that it is to be associated with, to be developed, to be pursued, that it is not to be feared.
