[419] Then, Aggivessana, this occurred to me: 'Why should I not meditate in the breathless meditation (appāṇaka jhāna)?' So, Aggivessana, I stopped the in-breaths and out-breaths through the mouth, through the nose, and through the ears. When I had stopped the in-breaths and out-breaths through the mouth, through the nose, and through the ears, violent winds bore down upon my head. Just as, Aggivessana, a strong man might grind into the head with a sharp point, even so, Aggivessana, when the in-breaths and out-breaths were stopped through the mouth, through the nose, and through the ears, violent winds bore down upon my head. And yet, Aggivessana, my energy (vīriya) was aroused and unflagging, my mindfulness (sati) was established and unconfused; but my body was agitated and not tranquil, because I was overwhelmed by that very painful striving. But even such painful feeling (vedanā) as had arisen did not invade my mind (citta) and remain.
