The Four-horned Antelope: a past life story

“Ñātametaṁ kuruṅgassa,
The four-horned antelope knows that

yaṁ tvaṁ sepaṇṇi siyyasi;
it’s you who tosses fruit from the beechwood tree.

Aññaṁ sepaṇṇi gacchāmi,
I’ll go to another beechwood,

na me te ruccate phalan”ti.
I don’t like your fruit.

Kuruṅgamigajātakaṁ paṭhamaṁ.
