[1549] Then, in the morning, the Venerable Sāriputta, having dressed and taken his bowl and robe, with the Venerable Ānanda as his attendant ascetic, approached the residence of the householder Anāthapiṇḍika. Having approached, he sat down on the seat that had been prepared. Having sat down, the Venerable Sāriputta said this to the householder Anāthapiṇḍika: "Householder, are you bearing up? Are you getting by? Are your painful feelings (vedanā) subsiding and not increasing? Is their subsiding, not their increasing, discernible?" "Venerable sir, I am not bearing up, I am not getting by. Severe painful feelings are increasing in me, not subsiding. Their increasing, not their subsiding, is discernible."
