|---|---|
| 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... |
