KaṇḍarījātakaJātaka 341 · Volume 3, translated by H. T. Francis and R. A. Neil (1897)
Public domain. H. T. Francis and R. A. Neil’s translation was published in 1897. The Pali is the Mahāsaṅgīti edition published by SuttaCentral under CC0. The canonical Pali Jātaka consists of the verses only (4 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
Narānamārāmakarāsu nārisu,
Anekacittāsu aniggahāsu ca;
Sabbattha nāpītikarāpi ce siyā,
Na vissase titthasamā hi nāriyo.
“Yaṁ ve disvā kaṇḍarīkinnarānaṁ,
Sabbitthiyo na ramanti agāre;
Taṁ tādisaṁ maccaṁ cajitvā bhariyā,
Aññaṁ disvā purisaṁ pīṭhasappiṁ”.
“Bakassa ca bāvarikassa rañño,
Accantakāmānugatassa bhariyā;
Avācarī paṭṭhavasānugassa,
Kaṁ vāpi itthī nāticare tadaññaṁ”.
“Piṅgiyānī sabbalokissarassa,
Rañño piyā brahmadattassa bhariyā;
Avācarī paṭṭhavasānugassa,
Taṁ vāpi sā nājjhagā kāmakāminī”ti.
English Francis and Neil 1897
