1. KulāvakajātakaNests: a past life story

“Kulāvakā mātali simbalismiṁ, īsāmukhena parivajjayassu;Mātali, don’t ram the bird nests in the red silk-cotton woods with your draft-pole. Kāmaṁ cajāma asuresu pāṇaṁ, māme dijā vikkulāvā ahesun”ti.
vikkulāvā → māyime dijā vikulāvā (bj, sya1ed, sya2ed, pts-vp-pli1); mā me dijā vikkulavā (csp1ed) | māme → māyime (bj, sya-all, pts) | vikkulāvā → vikkulavā (cck) | ahesu’nti → māme dijā vikulavā ahesuṁ (bj: machasaṁ) | vikkulavā → māyime dijā vikulāvā (cck: sī. syā. pī.)
I’d rather give up our lives to the titans than deprive these birds of their nests.

Kulāvakajātakaṁ paṭhamaṁ.
Kulāvakajātakaṁ → vikkulāvājātakaṁ (sya2ed) | paṭhamaṁ → (bj)
