ṅra the Evil One went to the Blessed One and recited this verse in his presence: "Those with children delight because of their children. Those with cattle delight because of their cows. A personâs delight comes from acquisitions, since a person with no acquisitions doesnât delight." The Buddha: "Those with children grieve because of their children. Those with cattle grieve because of their cows. A personâs grief comes from acquisitions, since a person with no acquisitions doesnât grieve." Then Mṅra the Evil One—sad & dejected at realizing, "The Blessed One knows me; the One Well-Gone knows me"—vanished right there. See also: MN 87; SN 1:20; AN 5:49; Ud 2:7; Ud 8:8; Sn 1:2 - --> - - - -
