Uragajātaka

Suttapiṭaka · Khuddakanikāya · Jātaka (1) · Vol. 27 · Section 720

[720] Just as a child cries after the moon as it goes on its way, of just such a kind is this — that one should grieve for the departed (peta). Being burned, he does not know the lamentation (parideva) of his relatives; therefore I do not grieve for him: he has gone to that destination (gati) which was his.
