a1+ This was also in his power.
a2 He would instruct animals. He would tell them the law. ... was far.
a2+ Lovely apramaṇinta (?) for both, for good, wide eyes like petals of a blue lotus, smooth/oil...
a3 ... he would proclaim the law in (this) way to the animals.
a3+ Would they understand it or not?
a4 The teacher says... ... afterwards he wold proclaim the law to them.
a4+ In the *ratisāyak-tune:
a5 Ignorant... ... with the mind here... in births...
a5+ Whoever has the wish to be liberated from mean animal birth, without malice... seek in three ways!
a6+ Ten ways... bring...!
a7 Through them here... ... put the deeds...!
a7+ ... the angry, malicious beings...
b1+ ... (among animals) ... cuckoo, sparrow hawk, seri, goose...
b2+ ... (they are) scornful, proud, hostile...
b3 ... they are born among animals.
b3+ Those who don't distinguish between good and evil, ... (how) fine an ignorance arises to them, their birth is among the so fine (=small?) animals.
b5 ... he in turn enjoys the fruit of that. The teacher says:
b5+ Never is there guarding from ignorance.
b6 If there..., zeal and effort would be made.
b6+ Thus, whoever would have fear of births in evil, he... always in wisdom...
b7 Brahma in the form of..., instructing the animals, through friendship...
