The Thoroughbred: a past life story

“Yadā yadā yattha yadā,
Whenever whenever, wherever whenever,

yattha yattha yadā yadā;
wherever wherever, whenever whenever:

Ājañño kurute vegaṁ,
the thoroughbred drives onward,

hāyanti tattha vāḷavā”ti.
while the geldings fade right there.

Ājaññajātakaṁ catutthaṁ.
