Back Questions - The Sermon at Benares | First Flight | Class 10 Literature | CBSE English

When her son dies, Kisa Gotami goes from house to house. What does she ask for? Does she get it? Why not?

Kisa Gotami goes from house to house asking for a handful of mustard seed which, the Buddha told her, could cure her dead son. However, there is a condition: the mustard seed should be taken from a house where no one has lost a child, husband, parent, or friend. Despite her efforts, Kisa Gotami doesn't get the mustard seed as she finds there is no house where some beloved one has not died.
