[296] "One should abandon him who abandons one, and should form no longing (vanatha);
one should not keep company with one whose heart has turned away —
as a bird, having known a tree to be exhausted of fruit,
would look to another; for great indeed is the world."
The Puṭabhatta Jātaka (birth-story), the third [is ended].
