“Punāparaṁ yadā homi, mithilāyaṁ puruttame;“Then again when I was in the capital city of Mithilā Nimi nāma mahārājā, paṇḍito kusalatthiko.I was the great king named Nimi, astute and seeking the good.
Tadāhaṁ māpayitvāna, catussālaṁ catummukhaṁ;Then having had constructed four halls with four openings, Tattha dānaṁ pavattesiṁ, migapakkhinarādinaṁ.I provided gifts there for beasts, birds, men, and so forth.
Acchādanañca sayanaṁ, annaṁ pānañca bhojanaṁ;Clothing and beds, food and drink to enjoy: Abbocchinnaṁ karitvāna, mahādānaṁ pavattayiṁ.I provided them without let, performing a great offering.
Yathāpi sevako sāmiṁ, dhanahetumupāgato;Suppose a servant is looking to get a raise from their boss, Kāyena vācā manasā, ārādhanīyamesati.they’d seek to fulfill their needs by body, speech, and mind.
Tathevāhaṁ sabbabhave, pariyesissāmi bodhijaṁ;In that way in every life I shall seek the wisdom born of awakening. Dānena satte tappetvā, icchāmi bodhimuttaman”ti.Having pleased beings with gifts, I wish for the supreme awakening.”
Nimirājacariyaṁ chaṭṭhaṁ.
