You sky-flyers staying near the great evergreen, ^[1]

this fire is emerging!

Geese! Flee to the quarters! ^[2]

The threat is born from the refuge!

[1] Noticing a fire starting in the tree under which they shelter, the Bodhisatta tries to warn the flock, but the foolish birds dismissed him, “for he is always seeing crocodiles in a drop of water”.

“Evergreen” (jagatirūha, literally “planet-growth”) is a poetic term for a tree.

[2] Vakkaṅga, in Sanskrit variously spelled vakrāṅga or cakrāṅga is the cakravāka or Brahminy goose. It is named for its curved neck.
