6. Tipallatthamigajātaka

The Triply Collapsed Deer: a past life story

“Migaṁ tipallatthamanekamāyaṁ,
“About that deer—triply collapsed with many illusions,

Aṭṭhakkhuraṁ aḍḍharattāpapāyiṁ;
eight-hooved, a midnight drinker—

Ekena sotena chamāssasanto,
he’s breathing on the ground through one nostril!

Chahi kalāhitibhoti bhāgineyyo”ti.
Excelling with these six tricks, he deserves a chance.”

Tipallatthamigajātakaṁ chaṭṭhaṁ.
