A Cup of Rice: a past life story

“Kimagghati taṇḍulanāḷikāyaṁ,
“Speak, o king: what value has a cup of rice

Assāna mūlāya vadehi rāja;
for the pricing of horses?”

Bārāṇasiṁ santarabāhirantaṁ,
“He values a cup of rice

Ayamagghati taṇḍulanāḷikā”ti.
at Varanasi with its suburbs!”

Taṇḍulanāḷijātakaṁ pañcamaṁ.
