2. Vaṇṇupathajātaka

Sandy Waste: a past life story

“Akilāsuno vaṇṇupathe khaṇantā,
Digging untiringly in a sandy waste,

Udaṅgaṇe tattha papaṁ avinduṁ;
there at the underground stream he found water.

Evaṁ munī viriyabalūpapanno,
In the same way, a sage with strength aroused

Akilāsu vinde hadayassa santin”ti.
untiringly finds the peace of the heart.

Vaṇṇupathajātakaṁ dutiyaṁ.
