SN.17.22. Kalyāṇīsutta ("The Finest Lady in the Land")

Saṁyutta Nikāya ("The Linked Discourses")

At Sāvatthī.

“Possessions, honor, and popularity are brutal …

Even if you’re alone with the finest lady in the land she might not occupy your mind, but possessions, honor and popularity would still occupy your mind.

So brutal are possessions, honor, and popularity. …”

SN.17.23. Ekaputtakasutta (“An Only Son”)
