[190] Having gained a half-māsaka (aḍḍhamāsa) — a gain it had never gained before — the chameleon (kakaṇṭaka) despises the king, Vedeha, the ruler of Mithilā. The Kakaṇṭaka Jātaka, the tenth. The Santhava Vagga, the second. ___________ Its summary (uddāna): Then Indasamāna; the one with the leaf-hut [Santhava]; Susīma the supreme; the Vulture [Gijjha]; the womb-born one [Nakula]; Upasāḷhaka; the bhikkhu [Samiddhi]; the one with the excellent quail [Sakuṇagghi]; and then the excellent one on loving-kindness (mettā) [Araka] — thus the ten are complete. ___________ #1 Burmese ed.
