“Manuññameva bhāseyya, nāmanuññaṁ kudācanaṁ;One should only speak sweetly, never not sweetly. Manuññaṁ bhāsamānassa, garuṁ bhāraṁ udaddhari;
garuṁ bhāraṁ udaddhari → garubhāraṁ uddadhari (bj) | garuṁ bhāraṁ → garubhāraṁ (sya-all)
For the one speaking sweetly, a large load was pulled,
Dhanañca naṁ alābhesi, tena cattamano ahū”ti.
alābhesi tena cattamano → alabbhesi tenacattamano (bj) | alābhesi → alabbhesi (pts)
earning him money, and he was satisfied with that.

Nandivisālajātakaṁ aṭṭhamaṁ.
