Spoiling the Toddy: 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,
koṇḍañño vāruṇiṁ yathā”ti.
as Koṇḍañña did the toddy.
Vāruṇidūsakajātakaṁ sattamaṁ.
