At Sāvatthī.Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

“Sir, they speak of ‘suffering’.“‘dukkhaṁ, dukkhan’ti, bhante, vuccati. What is suffering?”Katamaṁ nu kho, bhante, dukkhan”ti?

“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are suffering.“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, dukkhaṁ, vedanā dukkhā, saññā dukkhā, saṅkhārā dukkhā, viññāṇaṁ dukkhaṁ.

Seeing this …Evaṁ passaṁ …pe… They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
