5. Kharādiyajātaka

Accept the Ass: a past life story

“Aṭṭhakkhuraṁ kharādiye,
“Please accept the eight-hooved ass,

migaṁ vaṅkātivaṅkinaṁ;
the deer more wily than the wily.”

Sattahi kālātikkantaṁ,
“He has skipped the appointment seven times—

na naṁ ovaditussahe”ti.
I’ll make no effort to instruct him.”

Kharādiyajātakaṁ pañcamaṁ.
