Ininda Manee
"But why did she speak thus?"
"Soley because you were her youngest brother.
Householder, your daughter was old in the Paths and the Fruits, for while you have attained but the Fruit of Conversion, your daughter had attained Paths and the Fruits, that she spoke thus."
"Was that the reason, Venerable?"
"That was the reason, householder."
"Where has she now been reborn, Venerable?"
"In the World of the Tusita gods, householder."
"Venerable, while my daughter remained here among her kinsfolk, she went about rejoicing, and when she went hence, she was reborn in the Déva world."
Then the Buddha said to him, "It is even so householder. They that are heedful, be they lay folk or religious, rejoice both in this world and in the world beyond."
