Jātaka Ekakanipāta Kulāvakavagga 2. Naccajātaka

“Rudaṁ manuññaṁ rucirā ca piṭṭhi,

Your cry is sweet, your back brilliant,

Veḷuriyavaṇṇūpanibhā ca gīvā;

your neck the color of sapphire,

Byāmamattāni ca pekhuṇāni,

and your feathers a full fathom long;

Naccena te dhītaraṁ no dadāmī”ti.

still, because of your dancing, I will not give you my daughter.

Naccajātakaṁ dutiyaṁ.
