The Chapter on Morality

11.

The Marked Deer Birth Story

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 Marked Deer Birth Story is first.

12.

The Banyan Deer Birth Story

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 Banyan Deer Birth Story is second.

13.

The Arrow Birth Story

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 Arrow Birth Story is third.

14.

The Wind Deer Birth Story

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 Wind Deer Birth Story is fourth.

15.

The Rough-Eating Birth Story

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 Rough-Eating Birth Story is fifth.

16.

The Three-Posture Deer Birth Story

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 Three-Posture Deer Birth Story is sixth.

17.

The Wind Birth Story

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 Wind Birth Story is seventh.

18.

The Food for the Dead Birth Story

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 Food for the Dead Birth Story is eighth.

19.

The Requested Food Birth Story

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 Requested Food Birth Story is ninth.

20.

The Reed Drink Birth Story

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 Reed Drink Birth Story 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.
