The Fish: a past life story

“Na maṁ sītaṁ na maṁ uṇhaṁ,
It’s not the cold or heat for me,

na maṁ jālasmi bādhanaṁ;
nor the being caught in the net;

Yañca maṁ maññate macchī,
it’s that my lady, the fish, thinks of me,

aññaṁ so ratiyā gato”ti.
“He went for joy to another.”

Macchajātakaṁ catutthaṁ.
