10. Sukhavihārijātaka

Living at Ease: a past life story

“Yañca aññe na rakkhanti,
He who is not guarded by others,

yo ca aññe na rakkhati;
and who does not guard others,

Sa ve rāja sukhaṁ seti,
truly sleeps at ease, O king,

kāmesu anapekkhavā”ti.
unconcerned for sensual pleasures.

Sukhavihārijātakaṁ dasamaṁ.

Apaṇṇakavaggo paṭhamo.

Tassuddānaṁ

Varāpaṇṇaka vaṇṇupatha serivaro,

Suvicakkhaṇa taṇḍulanāḷikassā;

Hiri puttavaruttagāmaṇinā,

Yo ca na rakkhati tena dasāti.
