he translation of the Gujarati stanza is as follows: 'Before
(i. e. at the vanguard) one is taken (i. e. seized, attacked), behind
(i. e. at the rear) one is taken, in the middle one is taken; say,
O ye people, is one (i. e. the embryo) accomplished in the mother's
chest, belly, and foot?' ॥ The translation of the Gujarati stanza is as follows: 'is is the only story of our collection

to escape the blame of his fellow-men by deviating from the truth
are of no use to him. This is the only story of our collection
in which ae looser is always laughed at, and as
the stupidity of the Bharataka suffers without his fault. All his endeavours
to escape the blame of his fellow-men by deviating from the truth
are of no use to him. The looser is always laughed at, and as
the stupidity of the Bharatṭakas is a well-known and generally

acknowledged fact, every man is a priori convinced that the poor

fellow must have been the cause of his own misfortune. Cp. the

story of the miller, his son, and his ass in Lafontaine's Fables iii, 1;

second and the third padas are transposed to the effect that the

second and the third pādas are transposed to the effect that the
second päda rhymes with the first. Hence this stanza in all pro-
