[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.
