The reason why the son’s cause of death differs between the Saṃyuttanikāya and the two commentaries can be understood in two ways: (1) the commentaries simply relate an actual event (bhūta- attha-) of the parable. They narrate using the aorist, whereas, the SN uses seyyathāpi and the optative. (2) There was a taboo against killing children in the Theravāda tradition. The relevance of the second observation becomes clear in the course of this paper.</p>
