Sixteen Great Dreams: a past life story 7. Mahāsupinajātaka

“Bulls; trees; cows; oxen; “Usabhā rukkhā gāviyo gavā ca, horse; bronze goblet; she-jackal; water-pot; Asso kaṁso siṅgālī ca kumbho; lotus pond; uncookable rice; sandalwood; Pokkharaṇī ca apākacandanaṁ, pumpkins sink; stones float; Lābūni sīdanti silā plavan”ti.

frogs swallow black snakes; Maṇḍūkiyo kaṇhasappe gilanti, golden swans surround a crow; Kākaṁ supaṇṇā parivārayanti; the wolf trembles for fear of the sheep.” Tasā vakā eḷakānaṁ bhayāhi,

No perversion of reality is happening here for me. Vipariyāso vattati nayidha matthīti.

Mahāsupinajātakaṁ sattamaṁ.
