[723] "Venerable Sāriputta, just as a strong man might bore into one's head with a sharp point, even so, venerable Sāriputta, do winds beyond measure cut through my head. I am not keeping well, venerable Sāriputta, I am not getting by; my painful feelings (vedanā) are severe — they advance, they do not recede; their advancing is evident, not their receding."
