6. Tipallatthamigajātaka The Triply Collapsed Deer: a past life story
“Migaṁ tipallatthamanekamāyaṁ, “About that deer—triply collapsed with many illusions,
Aṭṭhakkhuraṁ aḍḍharattāpapāyiṁ; eight-hooved, a midnight drinker—
Ekena sotena chamāssasanto, he’s breathing on the ground through one nostril!
Chahi kalāhitibhoti bhāgineyyo”ti. Excelling with these six tricks, he deserves a chance.”
Tipallatthamigajātakaṁ chaṭṭhaṁ.
