The Wind-deer: a past life story
“Na kiratthi rasehi pāpiyo,
Nothing, it seems, is worse than tastes
Āvāsehi va santhavehi vā;
in monasteries or meeting places.
Vātamigaṁ gahananissitaṁ,
The domesticated Wind-deer
Vasamānesi rasehi sañjayo”ti.
was brought under Victor’s sway by tastes.
Vātamigajātakaṁ catutthaṁ.
