sn17.24:1.2 “Possessions, honor, and popularity are grim …
sn17.24:1.3 A faithful laywoman with a dear and beloved only daughter would rightly appeal to her,
sn17.24:1.4 ‘My darling, please be like the laywomen Khujjuttarā and Veḷukaṇṭakī, Nanda’s mother.’
sn17.24:1.5 These are a standard and a measure for my female lay disciples, that is, the laywomen Khujjuttarā and Veḷukaṇṭakī, Nanda’s mother.
sn17.24:1.6 ‘But my darling, if you go forth from the lay life to homelessness,
sn17.24:1.7 please be like the nuns Khemā and Uppalavaṇṇā.’
sn17.24:1.8 These are a standard and a measure for my nun disciples, that is, the nuns Khemā and Uppalavaṇṇā.
sn17.24:1.9 ‘And my darling, may you not come into possessions, honor, and popularity while you’re still a trainee and haven’t achieved your heart’s desire.’
