9. Āyācitabhattajātaka
The Vowed Feast
“Sace mucce pecca mucce,
If you would be released, after death might you be released,
Muccamāno hi bajjhati;
because releasing binds.
Na hevaṁ dhīrā muccanti,
That's not how the attentive are released;
Mutti bālassa bandhanan”ti.
such release is the fool’s bondage.
Āyācitabhattajātakaṁ navamaṁ.
