4. Durājānajātaka
Hard to Understand: a past life story
Mā su nandi icchati maṁ,
Do not rejoice, “She loves me,”
mā su soci na micchati;
nor lament, “She loves me not.”
Thīnaṁ bhāvo durājāno,
The mood of women is hard to understand,
macchassevodake gatan”ti.
like the track of fish in water.
Durājānajātakaṁ catutthaṁ.
