8. BakajātakaThe Crane: a past life story
“Nāccantaṁ nikatippañño, nikatyā sukhamedhati;
sukhamedhati ārādheti → sukham edhati ārādhe (pts)The clever cheat cannot achieve ultimate happiness by cheating. Ārādheti nikatippañño, bako kakkaṭakāmivā”ti.
Ārādheti nikatippañño → ārādhe nikatippañño (pts-vp-pli1) | nikatippañño → ārādhe nikatippañño (cck: pī.) bako → khako (bj)The clever cheat succeeds only in getting what the crane did from the crab.
