Idha nandati pecca nandati
Katapunno ubhayattha nandati
Punnam me katanti nandati
Bhiyyo nandati suggatim gato.
Here he is joyful, hereafter he is joyful, in both worlds the well-doer is joyful. “I have done good” is the thought that makes him happy. Still greater is his joy when he goes to the state of bliss.
Story
Sumanadevi, the youngest daughter of Anathapindikasetthi, while lying on her death-bed, called her father as “young brother” and died peacefully. Anathapidikasetthi, the main supporter of the Buddha, was sad to hear his daughter say such word at the moment of death. He told this matter to the Buddha. He explained that because she had attained the second stage of Ariya Puggalas (Sakadagami=Once-Returner) while her father had attained only the first stage of Sotapanna(Stream-Winner).
