Accordingly, “there are saints who, without being attached to them [viz., dharmas], nevertheless undergo suffering. Thus ö--ڴdz (Śāriputra) suffered from sicknesses of wind and heat, ʾ-Բ-’i-’o-ٲ’o (Pilindavatsa) suffered from eye disease, and -’o-Բ--’i (ṇa첹) suffered from hemorrhoids. Why do you say that they have no suffering?�.
