Nests: a past life story 1. Kulāvakajātaka

Mātali, don’t ram the bird nests “Kulāvakā mātali simbalismiṁ, in the red silk-cotton woods with your chariot pole. Īsāmukhena parivajjayassu; I’d rather give up our lives to the titans Kāmaṁ cajāma asuresu pāṇaṁ, than deprive these birds of their nests. Māme dijā vikkulāvā ahesun”ti.

Kulāvakajātakaṁ paṭhamaṁ.
