Note to Rv Lv 34III

[7] leitandi setrs sútar ‘looking for the seat of grief’: Bibire (1988) suggests that this means ‘seeking a resting-place for sorrow’, i.e. ‘seeking sorrow’s end’ while Kock (NN §982) assumes rather that the poet is seeking the cause of the sickness. The former seems more plausible, though again close parallels are lacking.
