Ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā sāriputto magadhesu viharati nālakagāmake.
At one time Venerable Sāriputta was staying in the land of the Magadhans near the little village of Nālaka.
Atha kho sāmaṇḍakāni paribbājako yenāyasmā sāriputto tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā sāriputtena saddhiṁ sammodi.
Then the wanderer Sāmaṇḍakāni went up to Venerable Sāriputta and exchanged greetings with him.
Sammodanīyaṁ kathaṁ sāraṇīyaṁ vītisāretvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho sāmaṇḍakāni paribbājako āyasmantaṁ sāriputtaṁ etadavoca:
When the greetings and polite conversation were over, Sāmaṇḍakāni sat down to one side and said to Sāriputta:
“Kiṁ nu kho, āvuso, sāriputta, imasmiṁ dhammavinaye sukhaṁ, kiṁ dukkhan”ti?
“Reverend Sāriputta, in this teaching and training, what is happiness and what is suffering?”
“Anabhirati kho, āvuso, imasmiṁ dhammavinaye dukkhā, abhirati sukhā.
“Reverend, in this teaching and training dissatisfaction is suffering and satisfaction is happiness.
Anabhiratiyā, āvuso, sati idaṁ dukkhaṁ pāṭikaṅkhaṁ—
When you’re dissatisfied, you can expect this kind of suffering.
