"He who wishes to do afterwards what should be done before;

Like the breaker of varuṇa wood, he afterwards feels remorse."

The Birth Story of Varuṇa, the first.

For an ungrateful person, always looking for faults;

Even if one were to give him the whole earth, one would indeed not please him.

A piece of wood rescued is better, but not indeed some men."

Good are many relatives, even trees born in the forest;

The wind carries away one standing alone, even a great lord of the forest.

Thunder forth, O Rain-God, destroy the treasure of the crow;

Afflict the crow with sorrow, and release me from sorrow.

I am without fear in the village, in the forest there is no fear for me;

Having ascended the straight path, through friendliness and compassion.

The Birth Story of the Unsuspected, the sixth.

77.

The Birth Story of the Great Dream

77.

Bulls are trees, cows are oxen, a horse is a plate, a jackal is a water-pot;

A pond and unripe sandalwood, gourds sink and stones float.

Frogs swallow black snakes, supaṇṇas surround a crow;

Trembling wolves are in fear of goats, perversion exists, there is no sense here.

The Birth Story of the Great Dream, the seventh.

78.

The Birth Story of Illisa

78.

Both are lame, both are crippled, both are squint-eyed;

Boils have arisen on both, I do not see Illisa.

The Birth Story of Illisa, the eighth.

79.

The Birth Story of the Rough Voice

79.

When cattle were plundered and destroyed, houses burnt and people led away;

Then came the son to her whose son was destroyed, beating a harsh-sounding drum.

The Birth Story of the Rough Voice, the ninth.

80.

The Birth Story of Bhīmasena

80.

What you boasted of before, then afterwards your putrid streams flow forth;

Both do not agree, O Bhīmasena, your talk of battle and this your distress.

The Birth Story of Bhīmasena, the tenth.

The Chapter on Varuṇa, the eighth.

Its summary:

Varuṇa, Ungrateful, Excellent, Truth-Excellent, with Forest-Lord and Thundering;

With Compassion, Stone-Raft, Illisa, again with Drum and Putrid Stream - ten.
