The Chapter on Morality

11.

The Birth Story of the Marked Deer

11.

There is benefit for those of good conduct, for those whose practice is friendly welcome;

See Lakkhaṇa coming, honoured by the congregation of kinsmen;

Then see this dark one, quite bereft of kinsmen, indeed.

The Birth Story of the Marked Deer is first.

12.

The Birth Story of the Banyan Deer

12.

One should resort to the banyan tree, one should not dwell with a branch;

Death in the banyan tree is better, than life in a branch.

The Birth Story of the Banyan Deer is second.

13.

The Birth Story of the Arrow

13.

Shame on the arrow with a shaft, that deeply pierces a man;

Shame on that country, where a woman is the leader;

And those beings too are despised, who have come under the control of women.

The Birth Story of the Arrow is third.

14.

The Birth Story of the Wind Deer

14.

There is surely nothing worse than flavours, or than residences or intimacies;

Sañjaya brought under his control with flavours the wind-deer dwelling in the thicket.

The Birth Story of the Wind Deer is fourth.

15.

The Birth Story of the Rough-Eating

15.

The deer with eight hooves, O Kharādiya, with horns bent and very bent;

Having transgressed the time on seven occasions, I do not endeavour to exhort him.

The Birth Story of the Rough-Eating is fifth.

16.

The Birth Story of the Three-Posture Deer

16.

The deer with three lying postures, of many deceits, with eight hooves, drinking water at midnight;

Breathing on the ground with one nostril, he will outwit with six tricks, dear sister, the nephew.

The Birth Story of the Three-Posture Deer is sixth.

17.

The Birth Story of the Wind

17.

Whether in the dark fortnight or in the bright, whenever the wind blows;

For cold spells are born of wind, you are both undefeated in this matter.

The Birth Story of the Wind is seventh.

18.

The Birth Story of the Food for the Dead

18.

If beings knew thus, that birth and continued existence are suffering;

No living being would kill another living being, for one who destroys life grieves.

The Birth Story of the Food for the Dead is eighth.

19.

The Birth Story of the Requested Food

19.

If you would be free, be free after death, for one becoming free is bound;

Not in this way do the wise become free, freedom is bondage for the fool.

The Birth Story of the Requested Food is ninth.

20.

The Birth Story of the Reed Drink

20.

Having seen a footprint not come out, having seen a footprint gone down;

We shall drink water with a reed, you will indeed not kill me.

The Birth Story of the Reed Drink is tenth.

The Morality Chapter is second.

Its summary:

Then Lakkhaṇa, Branch, Shame On, Again, Surely There Is Not, with Flavours, Rough and so on;

Excels, Excellent, Wind, Living Being, with Release, with the one named Reed - these are ten.
