[696] Then, some time later, the brahmin Dhanañjāni became afflicted with illness, suffering, gravely ill. Then the brahmin Dhanañjāni addressed a certain man: "Come, good man, go to the Blessed One; and having approached, pay homage in my name with your head at the Blessed One's feet, saying: 'Venerable sir, the brahmin Dhanañjāni is afflicted with illness, suffering, gravely ill; he pays homage with his head at the Blessed One's feet.' Then go to the Venerable Sāriputta; and having approached, pay homage in my name with your head at the Venerable Sāriputta's feet, saying: 'Venerable sir, the brahmin Dhanañjāni is afflicted with illness, suffering, gravely ill; he pays homage with his head at the Venerable Sāriputta's feet.' And say this: 'It would be good, venerable sir, if the Venerable Sāriputta would come to the residence of the brahmin Dhanañjāni, out of sympathy (anukampaṃ upādāya).'"
