“Mā munikassa pihayi, Envy not what is Munika’s,

Appossukko bhusaṁ khāda, Don’t worry, just eat your chaff,

etaṁ dīghāyulakkhaṇan”ti. this is a mark of long life.

Munikajātakaṁ dasamaṁ.

Kuruṅgavaggo tatiyo.

Kuruṅgassa kukkuragojavaro,

Puna vāḷavassasirivhayano;

Mahiḷāmukhanāmanuññavaro,

Vahate dhura munikena dasāti.
