 Verse 48 for 17 February, 2026

48. The householder Nakulapita and his wife Nakulamata came to see the Lord and having sat down, Nakulapita said: "Lord, since my wife was brought home to me when I was a mere boy, she being a mere girl, I have not been conscious of having transgressed against her even in thought, much less in body. Lord we desire to behold each other, not just in this life, but in the next life also." Nakulamata then said: "Lord, since I was brought to my husband's house when I was a mere girl, he being a mere boy, I have not been conscious of having transgressed against him even in thought, much less in body. Lord, we desire to behold each other, not just in this life, but in the next life also." At this, the Lord said: "If both husband and wife desire to behold each other in both this life and the next life, and both are matched in faith, matched in virtue, matched in generosity and matched in wisdom, then they will behold each other in both this life and the next life also."
