10. Saṅkhadhamajātaka

The Horn-Blower: a past life story

“Dhame dhame nātidhame,
Blow, blow, don’t overblow,

atidhantañhi pāpakaṁ;
for overblowing is bad.

Dhantenādhigatā bhogā,
By blowing riches were earned,

te tāto vidhamī dhaman”ti.
but your blowing dad blew it.

Saṅkhadhamajātakaṁ dasamaṁ.

Āsīsavaggo chaṭṭho.

Tassuddānaṁ

Yathā icchiṁ tathāhudakā thalā,

Sura sāduphalo ca alīnamano;

Sampahaṭṭhamano caturo ca tayo,

Sataladdhaka bhogadhanena dasāti.
