Translation
The wife of Aṅga, Sunīthā, gave birth to a fearful son named Vena. The saintly King Aṅga, disgusted with Vena's bad character, left home.
Personal Guidance
Aṅga's wife Sunīthā bore Vena, who was crooked; saintly Aṅga, disappointed, left for the forest. Even a saintly father can produce a difficult child; lineage doesn't guarantee character.
Reflection Questions
- Where am I blaming myself for someone else's crooked turn that didn't actually come from my parenting?
- When does walking away from one's house become spiritually appropriate, and when is it escape?
