Unfailing: a past life story

Namo tassa Bhagavato Arahato Sammāsambuddhassa.
Homage to that Blessed One, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha!

“Apaṇṇakaṁ ṭhānameke,
When some have an unfailing basis,

Dutiyaṁ āhu takkikā;
while sophists speak of a second way,

Etadaññāya medhāvī,
an intelligent person, knowing this,

Taṁ gaṇhe yadapaṇṇakan”ti.
would take up what is unfailing.

Apaṇṇakajātakaṁ paṭhamaṁ.
