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.
