एकमन्तं ठिता खो सा देवता भगवतो सन्तिके इमं गाथं अभासि:
Ekamantaṁ ṭhitā kho sā devatā bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:
Standing to one side, that deity recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
“नन्दति पुत्तेहि पुत्तिमा, गोमा गोहि तथेव नन्दति; उपधीहि नरस्स नन्दना, न हि सो नन्दति यो निरूपधी”ति।
“Nandati puttehi puttimā, Gomā1 gohi tatheva nandati; Upadhīhi narassa nandanā, Na hi so nandati yo nirūpadhī”ti.
“Your children bring you delight! Your cattle also bring you delight! For attachments are a man’s delight; without attachments there’s no delight.”
“सोचति पुत्तेहि पुत्तिमा, गोमा गोहि तथेव सोचति; उपधीहि नरस्स सोचना, न हि सो सोचति यो निरूपधी”ति।
“Socati puttehi puttimā, Gomā gohi tatheva socati; Upadhīhi narassa socanā, Na hi so socati yo nirūpadhī”ti.
“Your children bring you sorrow. Your cattle also bring you sorrow. For attachments are a man’s sorrow; without attachments there are no sorrows.”
