The Tipiṭaka in Three Languages

Channovādasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Majjhimanikāya · Vol. 14 · Section 744

[744] "Friend Sāriputta, just as a strong man might clamp a head-binding upon one's head with a tough leather strap, even so, friend Sāriputta, do winds beyond measure cut around my head. Friend Sāriputta, I am not keeping well, I am not getting by; my painful feelings (vedanā) are severe; they increase, they do not decrease; their increase is evident, not their decrease."
