3.8 Vassika#

I was the only one in my family
Who had faith and wisdom.
It’s good for my relatives that I’m
Firm in Dhamma, and my conduct is virtuous.

I rebuked my family out of compassion,
Reprimanding them because of my love
For my family and relatives.

They performed a service for the monks
And then they passed away,
To find happiness in the heaven of the Thirty-three.
There, my brothers and mother rejoice
With all the pleasures they desire.
