[509] At Sāvatthī. The Venerable Ānanda saw … and said this to the Venerable Sāriputta: "Friend Sāriputta, your faculties are serene, your complexion is pure and bright. In what dwelling has the Venerable Sāriputta spent the day?"
"Here, friend, with the stilling of thought and examination (vitakka-vicāra), I entered and dwelt in the second jhāna, which has internal confidence and unification of mind (citta), is without thought and examination, and has rapture (pīti) and happiness born of concentration (samādhi). And, friend, it did not occur to me: 'I am attaining the second jhāna,' or 'I have attained the second jhāna,' or 'I have emerged from the second jhāna.'"
"It must be because I-making (ahaṅkāra), mine-making (mamaṅkāra), and the underlying tendency to conceit (mānānusaya) have long been thoroughly uprooted in the Venerable Sāriputta that it does not occur to the Venerable Sāriputta: 'I am attaining the second jhāna,' or 'I have attained the second jhāna,' or 'I have emerged from the second jhāna.'"
