imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañc’-indriyānī”ti.	these indeed, ***********, [are the] five-faculties.”

Commentary

What SN 48.37 is saying at the end, is that: 1. sukha vedana has a physical component (sukha indriya) and mental component (so-manassa indriya). 2. dukkha vedana has a physical component (dukkha indriya) and mental component (do-manassa indriya). 3. A-dukkham-a-sukhā sā vedanā has a physical component and mental component, via upekkha-indriya. upekkha-indriya = kāyikaṃ vā cetasikaṃ vā (bodily or mental) n’eva-sātaṃ n’ā-sātaṃ vedayitaṃ (neither satisfying nor unsatisfying) vedana What the ending of the sutta is telling us, is that the 3 types of vedana can map into mental and physical components. The standard 3rd jhana formula mentions nothing about an 'upekkha sukha'. It's a an Abhidhamma creation, just like 5 jhana factors. The Buddha never talks about 5 jhana factors. It's only mentioned in two suttas, and both are spoken by Sariputta.
