[721] When he had sat down to one side, that man said this to the Blessed One: "Venerable sir, the householder Anāthapiṇḍika is afflicted, suffering, gravely ill. He pays homage with his head at the feet of the Blessed One." Then he approached the Venerable Sāriputta, and having approached and paid homage to the Venerable Sāriputta, he sat down to one side. When he had sat down to one side, that man said this to the Venerable Sāriputta: "Venerable sir, the householder Anāthapiṇḍika is afflicted, suffering, gravely ill. He pays homage with his head at the feet of the Venerable Sāriputta, and he says this: 'It would be good, venerable sir, if the Venerable Sāriputta would approach the residence of the householder Anāthapiṇḍika, out of compassion.'" The Venerable Sāriputta consented by silence. Then the Venerable Sāriputta, having dressed and taken his bowl and robe, went to the residence of the householder Anāthapiṇḍika with the Venerable Ānanda as his attendant ascetic, and having arrived, sat down on the seat that had been prepared.
