The Deer Named Lucky Spot: a past life story

“Hoti sīlavataṁ attho,
The virtuous ones prosper,

paṭisanthāravuttinaṁ;
who live extending protection.

Lakkhaṇaṁ passa āyantaṁ,
See Lucky Spot coming,

ñātisaṅghapurakkhataṁ;
surrounded by their family circle;

Atha passasimaṁ kāḷaṁ,
then see this Black Mark,

suvihīnaṁva ñātibhī”ti.
bereft of family.

Lakkhaṇamigajātakaṁ paṭhamaṁ.
