Dhammapada: Verses and Stories 215-Anitthigandhakumara Vatthu-The Outcome Of Lust


Verse 215. The Outcome Of Lust

From attachment grief is born,
from attachment fear,
one who is attachment-free
has no grief - how fear?

Explanation: From desire arises sorrow. From desire fear arises.
To one free of desire there is no sorrow. For such a person how can
there be fear?


Dhammapada Verse 215
Anitthigandhakumara Vatthu

Kamato jayati soko
kamato jayati bhayam
kamato vippamuttassa
natthi soko kuto bhayam.

Verse 215: Lust begets sorrow, lust begets fear. For him who is free from
lust there is no sorrow; how can there be fear for him?


The Story of Anitthigandha Kumara

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (215) of
this book, with reference to a youth, named Anitthigandha.

Anitthigandha lived in Savatthi. He was to marry a beautiful young girl from
the city of Sagala, in the country of the Maddas. As the bride was coming from
her home to Savatthi, she became ill and died on the way. When the bridegroom
learned about the tragic death of his bride he was brokenhearted.

At this juncture, the Buddha knowing that time was ripe for the young man to
attain Sotapatti Fruition went to his house. The parents of the young man
offered alms-food to the Buddha. After the meal, the Buddha asked his parents to
bring the young man to his presence. When he came, the Buddha asked him why he
was in such pain and distress and the young man related the whole story of the
tragic death of his young bride. Then the Buddha said to him, “O
Anitthigandha! Lust begets sorrow; it is due to lust for things and lust for
sensual pleasures that sorrow and fear arise.”

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 215: Lust begets sorrow, lust begets fear. For
him who is free from lust there is no sorrow; how can there be fear
for him?

At the end of the discourse Anitthigandha attained Sotapatti Fruition.
