KosiyajātakaJātaka 226 · Volume 2, translated by W. H. D. Rouse (1895)

Public domain. W. H. D. Rouse’s translation was published in 1895. The Pali is the Mahāsaṅgīti edition published by SuttaCentral under CC0. The canonical Pali Jātaka consists of the verses only (2 verses here); the prose story around them comes from the later commentary, which the English translates in full. So the verses are shown beside the whole English story, not verse by verse.

Pali verses

“Kāle nikkhamanā sādhu,
nākāle sādhu nikkhamo;
Akālena hi nikkhamma,
ekakampi bahujjano;
Na kiñci atthaṁ joteti,
dhaṅkasenāva kosiyaṁ.

Dhīro ca vidhividhānaññū,
paresaṁ vivarānugū;
Sabbāmitte vasīkatvā,
kosiyova sukhī siyā”ti.

English Rouse 1895

[208] "There is a time," etc.--A story told by the Master at Jetavana, about the king of Kosala. This king started to quell a border rising at a bad season of the year. The circumstances have been described already 1. The Master as before told the king a story.

Once on a time, the king of Benares having started for the field of war at an unseasonable time, set up a camp in his park. At that time an Owl entered a thicket of bamboos, and hid in it. There came a flock of Crows: "We will catch him," said they, "so soon as he shall come out." And they compassed it around. Out he came before his time, nor did he wait until the sun should set; and tried to make his escape. The crows surrounded him, and pecked him with their beaks till he fell to the ground. The king asked the Bodhisatta: "Tell me, wise sir, why are the crows attacking this owl?" And the Bodhisatta made answer, "They that leave their dwelling before the right time, great king, fall into just such misery as this. Therefore before the time one should not leave one's dwelling place." And to make the matter clear, he uttered this pair of verses:

"There is a time for every thing: who forth from home will go
One man or many, out of time, will surely meet some woe;
As did the Owl, unlucky fowl! pecked dead by many a crow. "Who masters quite each rule and rite; who others' weakness knows;
Like wise owls, he will happy be, and conquer all his foes."

[209] When the king heard this, he turned back home again.

This discourse ended, the Master identified the Birth:--"Ānanda was then the king, and the wise courtier was I myself."
