With VisākhāVisākhāsutta

So I have heard.Evaṁ me sutaṁ— At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in the stilt longhouse of Migāra’s mother in the Eastern Monastery.ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati pubbārāme migāramātupāsāde. Now at that time Visākhā was caught up in some business with King Pasenadi.Tena kho pana samayena visākhāya migāramātuyā kocideva attho raññe pasenadimhi kosale paṭibaddho hoti. But the king’s settlement did not meet her expectations.Taṁ rājā pasenadi kosalo na yathādhippāyaṁ tīreti.

Then, in the middle of the day, she went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down.Atha kho visākhā migāramātā divā divassa yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. The Buddha said to her:Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho visākhaṁ migāramātaraṁ bhagavā etadavoca: “So, Visākhā, where are you coming from in the middle of the day?”“handa kuto nu tvaṁ, visākhe, āgacchasi divā divassā”ti? “Sir, I am caught up in some business with King Pasenadi.“Idha me, bhante, kocideva attho raññe pasenadimhi kosale paṭibaddho; But the king’s settlement did not meet my expectations.”taṁ rājā pasenadi kosalo na yathādhippāyaṁ tīretī”ti.

Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment:Atha kho bhagavā etamatthaṁ viditvā tāyaṁ velāyaṁ imaṁ udānaṁ udānesi:

“All under another’s control is suffering,“Sabbaṁ paravasaṁ dukkhaṁ, all under one’s own authority is pleasing;sabbaṁ issariyaṁ sukhaṁ; what’s shared is stressful for both parties,Sādhāraṇe vihaññanti, for yokes are hard to escape.”yogā hi duratikkamā”ti.
