[1][olds][bodh] Thus have I heard:—
The Exalted One was staying at Sāvatthī.
Then the Exalted One addressed the brethren, saying:
"Brethren."
"Yes, lord," replied those brethren to the Exalted One.
The Exalted One said:
"He who takes delight, brethren, in body,
takes delight in suffering.
He who takes delight in suffering,
I declare,
that he is not released from suffering.
"He who takes delight, brethren, in feeling,
takes delight in suffering.

I declare,
that he is not released from suffering.
