#1 Sī., Yu.: kantāni. 2 M.: padāliya. 3 Sī., Yu.: te. [apparatus referring to the preceding page]
abandoning his realm, that foremost of heroic men;
I too shall wander alone in the world,
having given up sensual pleasures (kāmā) that delight the mind.
And the king has chosen the going forth —
abandoning his realm, that foremost of heroic men;
I too shall wander alone in the world,
having given up sensual pleasures, each standing within its own bounds.
The times pass by, the nights hurry on;
the stages of life abandon us one after another.
I too shall wander alone in the world,
having given up sensual pleasures that delight the mind.
The times pass by, the nights hurry on;
the stages of life abandon us one after another.
I too shall wander alone in the world,
having given up sensual pleasures, each standing within its own bounds.
The times pass by, the nights hurry on;
the stages of life abandon us one after another.
I too shall wander alone in the world,
grown cool, having passed beyond every tie (saṅga)."
The Hatthipāla Jātaka, the Thirteenth [is ended].
