1.10

At that time, Śāriputra immediately arose from his seat, took Ānanda by the hand, and went to the Buddha's presence. He circumambulated the Buddha three times, paid homage to the Buddha, knelt on both knees with palms joined, and addressed the Buddha, saying: "World-Honored One! We pray only that the God of Gods has compassion on all, and for the sake of the araṇya monks of future ages who go mad on account of five matters—first, on account of distracting sounds; second, on account of bad repute; third, on account of gain and offerings; fourth, on account of external wind; fifth, on account of internal wind—how should these five kinds of illnesses be cured? We pray only that the God of Gods explain it for our sake."
