5. Anabhiratijātaka
Dissatisfaction: a past life story
“Yathā nadī ca pantho ca,
Just like rivers and roads,
pānāgāraṁ sabhā papā;
taverns, hotels, and pubs,
Evaṁ lokitthiyo nāma,
are those called women in the world.
nāsaṁ kujjhanti paṇḍitā”ti.
Sages do not get angry with them.
Anabhiratijātakaṁ pañcamaṁ.
