The Pig Named Munika: a past life story 10. Munikajātaka

Envy not what is Munika’s, “Mā munikassa pihayi, for he eats the food of the terminally ill. āturannāni bhuñjati; Don’t worry, just eat your chaff, Appossukko bhusaṁ khāda, this is a mark of long life. etaṁ dīghāyulakkhaṇan”ti.

Munikajātakaṁ dasamaṁ.

Kuruṅgavaggo tatiyo.

Tassuddānaṁ

Kuruṅgassa kukkuragojavaro, Puna vāḷavassasirivhayano; Mahiḷāmukhanāmanuññavaro, Vahate dhura munikena dasāti.
