You are seated on a stone, from which you will not be freed while living.

83.

The Birth Story of Kālakaṇṇi

83.

One becomes a friend indeed by seven steps, but a companion by twelve;

By a month or a fortnight one becomes a relative, beyond that even like oneself;

The Birth Story of Kālakaṇṇi is the third.

84.

The Birth Story of the Kimpakka Fruit

Not knowing the danger in the future, whoever indulges in sensual pleasures;

At the end of the result they strike him, like having eaten a poisonous fruit.

The Birth Story of the Kimpakka Fruit is the fifth.

Morality indeed is good, morality is unsurpassed in the world;

See the serpent with terrible poison, being moral he is not killed.

87.

The Birth Story of the Blessing

87.

For whom blessings have been uprooted, omens, dreams, and characteristics;

He, having transcended the faults of blessings, having overcome the pairs and bonds, surely does not come to this again.

The Birth Story of the Blessing is the seventh.

88.

The Birth Story of Rivalry

88.

One should utter only what is good, one should not utter what is evil;

Release of good speech is excellent, having uttered evil one is tormented.

The Birth Story of the Rivalry is the eighth.

89.

The Birth Story of the Deceitful One

Your speech indeed was smooth, you speaker of kind words;

You clung to a mere blade of grass, yet they carry off a hundred gold coins.

He who does not understand the good done for him before, the benefit done;

When a task arises afterwards, he does not find one to do it.

Its summary:

We Drank and Treacherous, Positions of Beings, Six Doors and Future, and again;
