## 37. Mānapīṇḍa: Sevāī-Dṛṣṭānta
In the city of Giripuspit in the Kauśala Janapada, an Ācārya named Simha arrived with his disciples. One day, there was a festival of making sevāī. On that day, after the Sūtra Paurauṣī, all the young sādhus gathered. They began to converse among themselves. One of the sādhus said, "Among so many sādhus, who is there who will bring sevāī in the morning?" A Kṣullaka named Guṇacandra said, "I will bring it." The sādhus said, "If the sevāī is not enough for all the sādhus, or if it is without ghee or jaggery, then it will be of no use to us. You must bring enough sevāī with ghee and jaggery." The Kṣullaka said, "As you wish, I will bring such sevāī." Making this promise, he took his begging bowl and went out to beg. He entered the house of a householder. The sādhus saw plenty of sevāī there. It was mixed with abundant ghee and jaggery. The sādhus, with many words of persuasion, requested the sevāī from the householder named Sulocana. The householder, completely refusing to give alms to the sādhus, said, "I will not give you anything." Then, in anger, the Kṣullaka Muni said, "I will definitely take this sevāī with ghee and jaggery." Hearing the Kṣullaka's words, Sulocana, also in a fit of anger, said, "If you obtain this sevāī in any way, I will consider that you have committed an offense against my nose." Then the Kṣullaka thought, "I must obtain sevāī from this house." With firm determination, he left the house and asked a person nearby, "Whose house is this?" The person told him that it was the house of Viṣṇumitra. The Kṣullaka again asked where Viṣṇumitra was at that time. The person replied, "He is currently in the assembly."
The Kṣullaka went to the assembly and asked, "Who is Viṣṇumitra among you?" The people said, "What do you want from Viṣṇumitra?" The sādhus said, "I will request something from him." Jokingly, they said, "He is very miserly, so he will not give you anything. Ask us for whatever you want." Then Viṣṇumitra thought that he should not be disregarded in front of so many people, so he said in front of them, "I am Viṣṇumitra, ask me for anything."
Then the Kṣullaka said, "If you are not one of the six men who are dominated by women, then I will request something." Then the people in the assembly asked, "Who are those six men who are dominated by women?" The Kṣullaka said that the names of those six men are as follows: 1. Śvetāṅguli 2. Bakodḍāyaka 3. Kinkara 4. Snāyaka 5. Gṛdhraivariṅkhī 6. Hadagña. 1. Gā. 219/6, Vr. P. 135,136, Nibha 4451, Cū. P. 421, Piṁpraṭī P. 60. 2. According to Jībhā, Giripuspit Nagar was in the Kauśala country (Jībhā 1395). 3. These six stories are under the 37th story, but for convenience, the description of these stories has been done before story no. 37.
