And so, the Yellow God said: | |||
That action, which is ordained | |||
And free from attachment, | |||
Performed without desire or hate | |||
With no wish to obtain fruit, | |||
That is said to be “lata”. | |||
That action, which is performed | |||
With a wish to obtain desires, | |||
Or which is [done] with much effort, | |||
That is said to be “tseira”. | |||
That action, undertaken | |||
Disregarding consequences, | |||
Loss, or injury to others, | |||
As well as one’s own ability, | |||
That is said to be “hatha”. | |||

'''Munumkōri ō milu''' (original Erepursal: ''Ekkarini ka mylu'''; lit. “the Monk and the two Spirits”) is a folk tale of probable folk tale, early versions of which are found in both Umu and Kappalu. There are several variants of this tale, but the earliest version was recorded in Erepursal. Originally, it was a simple story for children, likely loosely based on a real event, but some later versions eventually turned into a fable, the moral lessons of which differ and depend on the context in which they are told. The original text contains many loanwords from Kērsalur and is no longer understood by modern Kirtumur speakers, who haven't learnt Erepursal. | '''Munumkōri ō milu''' (original Erepursal: ''Ekkarini ka mylu'''; lit. “the Monk and the two Spirits”) is a folk tale of probable folk tale, early versions of which are found in both Umu and Kappalu.
