yester-evening the sdlu, which I ‘require this morning. Then the 
other animal being reflected with himself thus; Ah well then! 
I shall hereafter take sdlu for 2,3, nay for 7 days, at once.” He 
did afterwards accordingly as he had said. Then an animal being 
said to him, ‘‘ Come, let us go to bring sdlu.”’ He then said to him, O 
animal being,take care for thine own salu; ‘‘ IT for myself have brought at 
once, for seven days.” Then that animal being reflected with himself 
thus, ‘‘ O well, very well, 1 shall take at once for fifteen days—for 
one month.” And he did accordingly. When the sd/w had been 
taken thus by anticipation by these animal beings, there grew after- 
wards salu that was covered with straw, husk, and chaff, and 
when cut down, grew not again. 
Then those animal beings assembled together, and reflected on their 
former state thus: 
Shes-dan-tak ! (Sayr4"5m), &c.) See leaves 168, 169. [Here fol- 
lows a repetition of the above described stories respecting the several 
changes that took place im the state of the animal beings. How perfect 
they were formerly, and how degenerate they are now.] 
Afterwards, being gathered together, some of them said, ‘‘ We must 
mete out the land and assign the boundary of each property ; say- 
ing, This is thine, and this is mine.’”’ Accordingly, they measured and 
divided the land, and erected land-marks. 
Gautamas ! This is the first time in the world that men commenced 
to erect land-marks. This also was a natural consequence. 
It happened afterwards, that an animal being, who had his own sdlu, 
took away that of another not being given to him (or stole it). 
Other animal beings having seen him, that, though he had his own 
sdlu, he had taken away that of another, not being given him, 
they said thus to him, ‘‘ Oh animal being! thou having thine own 
salu, why takest thou that of another, without being given thee ?’”’ They 
seized him and dragged him on this and on that side, and took him into 
the congregation, and then reproved him thus, ‘‘Sirs! this animal be- 
ing, having his own sdlu, has taken away three times that of another 
without its being given unto him.” 
Then those animal beings said to this, thus, ‘‘ Oh! animal being, 
thou having thy own sdlu, why takest thou that of another which he had 
not given thee? Oh! animal being; go now away, henceforth do not 
act in this manner?” Then that animal being thus said to the others, 
‘Intelligent beings ! This animal being having dragged me on this side 
and on that side, on account of the salu, taking me into the congre- 
gation, has also abused me (with hislanguage).” Then those animal
