Solution
Gautama Buddha asks Kisa Gotami to procure a handful of mustard seeds from a house where death has never knocked at the door. Kisa Gotami goes from door to door but is not able to find a single house where death has not taken a beloved family member away. She does not get a handful of mustard seeds as death is inevitable and anyone who is born is bound to die one day.
