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.
