2.7 The Only Son
¿Ü¾Æµé
Thus have I heard. At one time the Lord was staying near Savatthi in the Jeta Wood at Anthapindika¡¯s monastery. At that time the dearly beloved only son of a certain lay follower had died. Then a number of lay followers with wet cloths and hair approached the Lord in the middle of the day, prostrated themselves, and sat down to one side. As they were sitting there the Lord said to those lay followers: ¡°Why have you come here in the middle of the day, lay followers, with wet cloths and hair?"
When this was said that lay follower replied to the Lord: ¡°My dearly beloved only son, revered sir, has died. That is why we have come here in the middle of the day with wet cloths and hair.¡±
Then, on realizing its significance, the Lord uttered on that occasion this inspired utterance:

Devas and most men are truly fettered
By what they hold as dear and pleasant.
Worn out with grief (when their dear ones die),
They fall into the power of the King of Death.
But those who are heedful day and night,
Who abandon whatever is dear –
The bait of Death so hard to overcome –
They dig up the root of grief.
