ข้อความต้นฉบับในหน้า
8) Of old, sire, in this very city a man in answer to his prayer had a son.
At his birth the father was full of joy and gladness at the thought of having
got a son, and cherished him. When the boy was grown up, he weded him
to a wife, and by and bye he himself grew old and could not undertake any work.
So his son said, "You cannot do any work: you must go from hence," and
he drove him out of the house.
With great difficulty he kept himself alive on alms, and lamenting he uttered
this stanza:
He for whose birth I longed,
nor longed in vain,
Drives me from home.
My refuge proved my bane.
"Just as an aged father, sire, ought to be cared for by an able-bodied son, so
too ought all the people to be protected by the king, and this danger now
present has arisen from the king, who is the guardian of all men. Know, sire,
from this fact that the thief is so and so."
