The Chapter on the Nest

31.

The Kulāvaka Birth Story

31.

"The nests, Mātali, in the silk-cotton tree, avoid them with the chariot-pole;

We would rather give up our lives among the titans, than that my twice-born birds should become nestless."

The Kulāvaka Birth Story is the first.

32.

The Dancing Birth Story

32.

Your cry is delightful and your back is beautiful, and your neck resembles the colour of lapis lazuli;

And your tail-feathers are a fathom in length, but because of your dancing we do not give you our daughter.

The Dancing Jātaka, the second.

33.

The Sammodamāna Birth Story

33.

Being joyful they go, the birds having taken up the net;

When they quarrel, then they will come under my control.

The Sammodamāna Birth Story is the third.

34.

The Fish Birth Story

34.

Neither cold nor heat afflicts me, nor the snaring in the net;

But that the she-fish imagines me gone to another for delight.

The Fish Jātaka, the fourth.

35.

The Vaṭṭaka Birth Story

35.

There are wings, but unable to fly, there are feet, but unable to walk;

Mother and father have departed, fire, go back.

The Vaṭṭaka Birth Story is the fifth.

36.

The Sakuṇa Birth Story

36.

The tree upon which the birds depended, that itself emits fire;

Seek the directions, O crooked-limbed ones, fear has arisen from the refuge.

The Sakuṇa Birth Story is the sixth.

37.

The Tittira Birth Story

37.

Those men who honour the senior, skilled in the Teaching;

Praiseworthy in this very life, and a fortunate realm in the future state.

The Tittira Birth Story is the seventh.

38.

The Baka Birth Story

38.

One wise in fraud does not perpetually thrive in happiness through fraud;

One wise in fraud obtains, like a heron with a crab.

The Baka Birth Story is the eighth.

39.

The Nanda Birth Story

39.

Methinks a heap of golden things, and a golden wreath, and Nandaka;

Where the slave, born a slave, standing, roars rough words.

The Nanda Birth Story is the ninth.

40.

The Khadiraṅgāra Birth Story

40.

I would rather fall into hell, feet upward, head downward;

I will not do what is ignoble, come, accept the almsfood.

The Khadiraṅgāra Birth Story is the tenth.

The Kulāvaka Chapter is the fourth.

Its summary:

Siri, Mātali, Daughter, King of Birds, Delight, Come, Mother and Father, and again;

Tree, Senior, Parrot and Crab, likewise with Nandaka and Excellent Almsfood - ten.
