| a1 | ... || In the V.-tune: || |
|---|---|
| a1+ | Should he (enjoy) a poisonous dish as good (food) ... who loves [his] life, why... |
| a2 | ... or why should one be fond of (?) a stained ... |
| a2+ | (how should) someone who wants to live, (yearn for [the smell of] a nice-smelling blue) lotus containing a snake |
| a3 | ... How should I love kingship, oppressing me with the royal ... 1. And also, father, how could someone who [is] knowledgeable in it, |
| a4 | ... or desirous be? See, oh lord: || In the P.-tune: || Hostilities [and] ... [are] also royal obligations |
| a5 | ... of the kings [for] many years. |
| a5+ | (And) evil [is] the obligation, to the one [who is] ... (by) hate confused, at the (time) of [his] death. |
| a6 | ... When he had heard this, (the king says) in bewilderment: ... |
| a6+ | (Oh lord,) my son! [For] years you (have (?))... |
| b1 | ... This you have not actually seen ... |
| b1+ | ... with regard to being a ruler (?) as a teacher |
| b2 | .. (This) you have (not really) seen. This you do (not) know. Kingship is (not) of such kind. |
| b3 | Excitedly (the prince says to the king:) Oh lord, in the doing of the kings (I do not see) the true knowledge of it [i.e. kingship]. ... The king says: Speak, speak, [my] son! |
| b3+ | (In) what (way) do you really know the doing (of kings)? |
| b4 | The prince says: Listen, father! |
| b4+ | Just like a human clearly seeing (one’s) ... shoulders without a callus ... (just so,) having the memory of the births, I remember [my] (previous) births. |
| b5 | || In the Y.- tune: || |
| b5+ | (In) earlier births I have... |
| b6 | ... resorted (to cruelty) in order to preserve the realms. A man (made) a mistake, ... certainly the (command (?)) to kill |
