2. Kapotajātaka

The Pigeon: a past life story

“Yo atthakāmassa hitānukampino,
One who does not follow advice when instructed

Ovajjamāno na karoti sāsanaṁ;
by an ally who desires their good,

Kapotakassa vacanaṁ akatvā,
not following the pigeon’s counsel,

Amittahatthatthagatova setī”ti.
ends up in the hands of their foes.

Kapotajātakaṁ dutiyaṁ.
