4. Rukkhadhammajātaka

The Law of Trees: a past life story

“Sādhū sambahulā ñātī,
It is well for the many relatives,

api rukkhā araññajā;
the trees born in the forest.

Vāto vahati ekaṭṭhaṁ,
The wind sweeps off one standing alone,

brahantampi vanappatin”ti.
even the enormous lord of the forest.

Rukkhadhammajātakaṁ catutthaṁ.
