Frequent: a past life story

“Nālaṁ kabaḷaṁ padātave,
It’s not enough to give him a morsel,

Na ca piṇḍaṁ na kuse na ghaṁsituṁ;
a bite, some grass, or a rubbing-down.

Maññāmi abhiṇhadassanā,
I think by seeing the dog often,

Nāgo snehamakāsi kukkure”ti.
the elephant grew fond of him.

Abhiṇhajātakaṁ sattamaṁ.
