The Candābha Jātaka 135. Moon-like and sun-like, whoever here delves with wisdom. By jhāna without initial thought, becomes one of the Ābhassara gods. The Candābha Jātaka, the fifth. 136. The Suvaṇṇahaṃsa Jātaka 136. What is gained, with that one should be content, for excessive greed is evil; Having seized the king of swans, he lost the gold. The Sixth is the Golden Goose Jātaka. 137. Babbu Jātaka 137. Where one gets a babbu, a second is born there; a third and a fourth, these, O Babbukas, are your holes. The Seventh is the Babbu Jātaka. 138. Godha Jātaka 138. What to you are matted locks, foolish one? What to you is a deer-skin robe? Your inner self is a thicket, you cleanse the outer. The Eighth is the Godha Jātaka. 139. Ubhatobhaṭṭha Jātaka 139. Eyes broken, cloth lost, and a quarrel in a friend's house; deeds corrupted on both sides, in water and on land. The Ninth is the Ubhatobhaṭṭha Jātaka. 140. Kaka Jātaka 140. Always with agitated hearts, tormentors of all the world; therefore, there is no power for them, for crows, our relatives. The Tenth is the Kaka Jātaka. The Fourteenth Chapter is Asampadāna. Its summary – Itarītara, Rakkhasi, Khemiya, and Parosata, Pañha, Ābhassara again; then Haṃsa, Varuttama, Babbu, Jaṭa, Paṭanaṭṭhaka, and Kākavara, these ten. 15. Kakaṇṭaka Chapter 141. Godha Jātaka 141. One who associates with evil people does not attain ultimate happiness; like the Kakaṇṭaka to the iguana family, he brings ruin upon himself. The First is the Godha Jātaka. 142. Siṅgāla Jātaka 142. This indeed is hard for you to know, that you lie as if dead; from whose hand, when you are dragged, the stick does not escape. The Second is the Siṅgāla Jātaka. 143. Viroca Jātaka 143. Your sinews are torn out, and your head is split open; all your ribs are broken, today indeed you shine! The Third is the Viroca Jātaka. 144. Naṅguṭṭha Jātaka 144. This is much, O Jātaveda, that we honor you with a tail; for one worthy of meat, there is no meat today, may your honor accept even the tail. The Fourth is the Naṅguṭṭha Jātaka. 145. Rādha Jātaka 145. You, Rādha, do not know, when midnight has not yet come; You lament in vain, that the owl is disaffected. The Rādha Jātaka, the fifth. 146. Samuddakāka Jātaka 146. Indeed, my jaws are tired, and my mouth is parched; We cannot reach the shore, for the great ocean is full. The Samuddakāka Jātaka, the sixth. 147. Puppharatta Jātaka 147. This is not the pain, nor that the pain, that the crow pecks me; But that Sāmā, with her flower-redness, will not enjoy Katthika. The Puppharatta Jātaka, the seventh. 148. Siṅgāla Jātaka 148. I will not again, nor again, nor ever again; Enter an elephant's body, for I am so terrified. The Siṅgāla Jātaka, the eighth. 149. Ekapaṇṇa Jātaka 149. This tree has but one leaf, not four fingers from the ground; With its poisonous fruit, what will become of this great one? The Ekapaṇṇa Jātaka, the ninth. 150. Sañjīva Jātaka 150. Whoever supports the wicked, and associates with the wicked; He makes him his own food, just like the tiger Sañjīvaka. The Sañjīva Jātaka, the tenth. The Kakaṇṭaka chapter, the fifteenth. Its summary – Sukhamedhati and Daṇḍavara again, Lasi, Vāladhi, the fifth Rādhāvara; Samahodadhi, Katthika, Bondi again, with Caturangula and Byagghavara, these are ten. (The upper fifty.) Now the chapter summary – Apaṇṇaka, Sīlavagga, Kuruṅga, Kulāvaka, with Atthakāma the fifth; Āsīsa, Itthivaruṇa, Apāyi, with Littavagga, these are ten; Parosata, Haṃci, Kusanāḷi, Asampada, Kakaṇṭakavagga. Thus adorned in the Ekanipāta. The Ekanipāta is finished.
