1At Sāvatthī … . The Venerable Ānanda saw the Venerable Sāriputta coming in the distance … .

2"Here, friend, with the abandoning of pleasure and pain, and with the previous passing away of joy and displeasure, I entered and dwelt in the fourth jhāna, which is neither painful nor pleasant and includes the purification of mindfulness by equanimity. Yet, friend, it did not occur to me, ‘I am attaining the fourth jhāna … .’"
