The Discourse on a Little Hut
19.
"Don’t you have a little hut? Don’t you have a little nest?
Don’t you have an offspring? Αre you released from bondage?"
[The Blessed One:] "“Surely I have no little hut, surely I have no little nest;
Surely I have no offspring, surely I am released from bondage."
[The deity:] "What do you think I call a little hut? What do you think I call a little nest?
What do you think I call an offspring'? What do you think I call bondage?"
[The Blessed One:] "It’s a mother that you call 'a little hut', a wife that you call 'a little nest',
Sons that you call 'an offspring', craving that you tell me is 'bondage'."
[The deity:] "It is good that you have no little hut, good that you have no little nest,
Good that you have no offspring, good that you are released from bondage."
