... Weeping incessantly, her eyes dried up of all the tears. Then she remembered that Lord Buddha was camping in the gardens of the outskirts of the town. She was aware of his Holiness and compassion. She perceived a faint ray of hope in the power and kindness of that great soul.
Rushing at the holy feet of Tathagata, the lady lamented, "O Lord, see! What great tragedy has befallen me! The cruel death has taken away my beloved and the only son. Now what is the purpose for my survival; where is the support? O Lord, I know you can work wonders; you have given lifeline to many, why not grace me now? Please O Merciful, be kind enough to bring my son back to life."
After thinking for a while, the Lord addressed the lady thus, "O mother, do not grieve. I shall try to bring back your son to life." The joy of the lady knew no bounds. She got up and expectantly looked at the Lord to perform the miracle.
Just then the Lord said, "Mother, but there is one condition. I shall require a few seeds of mustard and a pinch of salt to effectively succeed in this endeavor. Will you please bring the seeds and salt?"
"Yes, yes, my Lord. Here I go," said the mother, and was about to run to neighborhood when the Lord said, "But remember, bring the items only from such a family which is not yet smitten by death."
"O woman of the house, will you be kind enough to give me a few mustard seeds and some common salt?"
"Yes, why not? Take as much as you require."
"But," said the mother, "One thing should be clear; I can accept these two things only if there has been no death in your family."
The other woman replied, "Oh, how can that be! My aged father-in-law died six months back."
Thus went the mother from one house to another, but she could not find any family where death had not already paid its visit. A son or a daughter, father or mother, brother or sister, wife or husband someone or the other was the victim of cruel death sometime or the other, everywhere.

"I felt all that you have said, but somehow I was afraid of it, and I could not express it to myself. How well you know me! But we will not talk again of what has happened. It has been a marvellous experience. That is all. I wonder if life has still in store for me anything as marvellous."
The portrait was to bear the burden of his shame: that was all.. Like the gods of the Greeks, he would be strong, and fleet, and joyous. What did it matter what happened to the coloured image on the canvas? He would be safe. That was everything.
