2. Sīlavahatthijātaka

The Virtuous Elephant: a past life story

“Akataññussa posassa,
An ungrateful person,

niccaṁ vivaradassino;
always looking for opportunity,

Sabbañce pathaviṁ dajjā,
even if given the whole earth,

neva naṁ abhirādhaye”ti.
would still not be satisfied.

Sīlavahatthijātakaṁ dutiyaṁ.
