10. Kuddālajātaka

The Spade: a past life story

“Na taṁ jitaṁ sādhu jitaṁ,
That victory is not a good victory

yaṁ jitaṁ avajīyati;
which may be undone.

Taṁ kho jitaṁ sādhu jitaṁ,
That victory is a good victory

yaṁ jitaṁ nāvajīyatī”ti.
which may not be undone.

Kuddālajātakaṁ dasamaṁ.

Itthivaggo sattamo.

Tassuddānaṁ

Sikhīsabbaghasopi ca vīṇavaro,

Pisuṇā mittabhedikā nandī nadī;

Mudulakkhaṇa sodariyā ca mano,

Visa sādhujitena bhavanti dasāti.
