4. MacchajātakaThe Fish: a past life story

“Na maṁ sītaṁ na maṁ uṇhaṁ, na maṁ jālasmi bādhanaṁ;
jālasmi → jālasmiṁ (bj, pts)
It’s not the cold or heat for me, nor the being caught in the net;
Yañca maṁ maññate macchī, aññaṁ so ratiyā gato”ti.
macchī → macchi (bj, pts)
it’s that my lady, the fish, thinks of me, “He went for joy to another.”

Macchajātakaṁ catutthaṁ.
catutthaṁ → (bj)
