Once the Blessed One was staying among the Bhaggas in the Deer Park at Bhesakala Grove, near
Crocodile
Haunt. Then early in the morning the Blessed One put on his
robes and, carrying his bowl and outer robe, went to the home of
the householder, Nakula's father. On arrival, he sat down on a seat
made ready. Then Nakula's father & Nakula's mother went to the
Blessed One and, on arrival, having bowed down to him, sat to one
side. As they were sitting there, Nakula's father said to the
Blessed One: "Lord, ever since Nakula's mother as a young girl was
brought to me [to be my wife] when I was just a young boy, I am not
conscious of being unfaithful to her even in mind, much less in
body. We want to see one another not only in the present life but
also in the life to come."
And Nakula's mother said to the Blessed One: "Lord, ever since I
as a young girl was brought to Nakula's father [to be his wife]
when he was just a young boy, I am not conscious of being
unfaithful to him even in mind, much less in body. We want to see
one another not only in the present life but also in the life to
come."
[The Blessed One said:] "If both husband & wife want to see
one another not only in the present life but also in the life to
come, they should be in tune [with each other] in conviction, in
tune in virtue, in tune in generosity, and in tune in discernment.
Then they will see one another not only in the present life but
also in the life to come."
