## 334] Sarvarthasiddhi
[919 $ 828] One who contemplates that the mind is burnt by knowledge, is considered to have conquered the challenge of death, as he is indifferent to the application of sandalwood paste and the removal of dirt.
[8828] One who is dedicated to the practice of both external and internal austerities, whose body has been purified by the force of such contemplation, whose body is like a tree devoid of shade, with only skin, bones, and a network of veins remaining, due to the intense heat of the sun, who does not beg for food, shelter, or medicine even when facing death, using words of humility, a pale face, and gestures, and whose form is as difficult to perceive as lightning during the day, is considered to have conquered the challenge of begging.
[6829] One who is unattached like the wind, who wanders through many lands, who accepts only one meal a day, who remains silent or follows the rules of speech, whose principle is to show his body only once, whose vessel is only the palm of his hand, who does not receive alms for many days or in many houses, whose mind is free from distress, who is eager to test the nature of the giver, and who is content with the thought that "even if I do not receive anything, it is the greatest austerity for me," is considered to have conquered the challenge of non-receipt.
[8830] One who understands that this body is the abode of all impurities, that it is impermanent, and that it is not worthy of protection, who is free from any attachment to the body due to the absence of any thoughts, who considers the body as the cause for the accumulation, growth, protection, and maintenance of the treasure of virtues, who has accepted the principle of the body's existence, who accepts food that is beneficial like applying ointment to a wound or cleaning dirt, who is not overwhelmed by the diseases caused by the imbalance of eating and drinking, such as wind, even when afflicted by hundreds of diseases at once, who does not succumb to them, who, even when possessing many special austerities and the ability to obtain quick remedies, is indifferent to the body due to detachment, is considered to have conquered the challenge of disease.
