On one occasion, the Buddha was present in the forest of Isipatanamikadayavana in Varanasi and spoke to his disciples about lay Buddhist Nandiya. Nandiya was the only son of a business family in Varanasi. Everyone in the business family had the religious faith in the Triple Gem and had been nurturing the Buddha and monks regularly. His parents wanted Nandiya to marry Revadi who was a neighbor's daughter so that they would have an heir. But Nandiya did not want to marry Revadi because he knew her habit of not giving alms and not shining in Buddhism, so he refused. But his parents still wanted their son to marry Revadi. So they invited Revadi to come to their house and help arrange the place for the ceremony to raise the monks. Revadi acted like an easy-going person and did everything as Nandiya's parents told her until Nandiya accepted and agreed to be close. Finally, they got married.
