Sudinna’s mother then said to his ex-wife, “Well then, as soon as you reach your fertile period, please tell me.” “Yes, ma’am.” Not long afterwards Sudinna’s ex-wife reached her fertile period, and she reported it to Sudinna’s mother. “Now, please adorn yourself in the way that our son Sudinna found you especially attractive.” “Yes.” Then Sudinna’s mother, together with his ex-wife, went to Sudinna in the Great Wood, and she said to him: “Our family, dear Sudinna, 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.

As a result she conceived.
