Oops, I misidentified the jaataka---it should be Nimijaataka (#541).

586. But I don't want that which (is obtained) owing to another's
condition of generosity;
The meritorious deeds performed by oneself, that to me is the
treasure par excellence.

Therein "ya.m parato daanapaccayaa" : what (is obtained) owing to
another's (tassa parassa) condition of generosity because of what was
given by him, that is like borrowing, therefore, I do not want this.

In an offlist message, Ole pointed out a similar comment on the same
passage at Ja IV 358. It doesn't have the "tassa parassa" gloss
for 'parato'. Ole disagrees with Ja VI 128 and says that 'parato'
means 'from another person' (ablative) according to Ja IV 358.
Personally, I think the interpretation at Ja VI 128 is okay.

Best wishes,
