6. Ārāmadūsakajātaka

Spoiling the Park: a past life story

“Na ve anatthakusalena,
Surely not with one who misunderstands the meaning

atthacariyā sukhāvahā;
does good conduct lead to happiness.

Hāpeti atthaṁ dummedho,
The simpleton destroys the good,

kapi ārāmiko yathā”ti.
like the monkey groundskeeper.

Ārāmadūsakajātakaṁ chaṭṭhaṁ.
