Translated from the Majjhima-Nikya (Sutta 44 or i.30228).
\"My lady [Dhammadinn], how many sensations are there?"
"Brother Viskha, there are three sensations; the pleasant sensation, the unpleasant sensation, and the indifferent sensation."
"But what, my lady, is the pleasant sensation, what the unpleasant sensation, and what the indifferent sensation?"
"Brother Viskha, whatever pleasant or joyous sensation is felt by the body or by the mind, that is pleasant sensation. Brother Viskha, whatever unpleasant or joyless sensation is felt by the body or by the mind, that is unpleasant sensation. Brother Viskha, whatever sensation that is neither joyous nor joyless is felt by the body or by the mind, that is indifferent sensation."
