Sudinna said to his father, “If there’s food to be given, householder, give it, but don’t annoy me.” “Eat, Sudinna,” he said. And Sudinna’s mother and father personally served and satisfied him with various kinds of fine foods. When Sudinna had finished his meal, his mother said to him: “Sudinna dear, our family is rich. Please return to the lower life, enjoy wealth, and make merit.” “Mother, I can’t. I’m enjoying the spiritual life.” His mother repeated her request a second time, but got the same reply. She then said, “Our family is wealthy, Sudinna. Please give us an offspring, so that the Licchavīs don’t take over our heirless property.” “Yes, mother, I can do that.” “But where are you staying?” “In the Great Wood.” And he got up from his seat and left.
