Has it not been said by the Blessed One – ‘Here, Punna, some person performs a bodily volitional formation that is both harmful and harmless, performs a verbal volitional formation...

Having performed a bodily volitional formation that is both harmful and harmless, having performed a verbal volitional formation...

Having been reborn in such a world that is both harmful and harmless, he is touched by contacts that are both harmful and harmless. Being touched by contacts that are both harmful and harmless, he experiences a feeling that is both harmful and harmless, mixed with pleasure and pain, just as Some humans, and some devas, are destined for lower realms.
