[1441] "But, venerable sir, when we hear of the Blessed One: 'He will set out on a wandering tour from the Kāsis into Magadha,' on that occasion there is displeasure in us, there is grief, thinking: 'The Blessed One will be far from us.' And, venerable sir, when we hear of the Blessed One: 'He has set out on a wandering tour from the Kāsis into Magadha,' on that occasion there is no small displeasure in us, there is no small grief, thinking: 'The Blessed One is far from us.'"
