Kalpa Sūtra
The celebrated Arhat Pārsva gave up the care of the body for the whole time for 83 day-nights and exposed the body to hard life. Whatever the hardship, he bore it in all respects, forgave it, overlooked it, believed it to be no hardship, howsoever severe, maybe it was created by the divine agency, or by men, animals, forces of nature, or by any other adverse forces. 158

Then Bhagavān Pārsva became the truly homeless: careful in movement, careful in words, careful in desires, careful in acceptance-accumulation-renunciation, careful in depositing stool, urine, phlegm, body-dirt; Restrained in mind, restrained in words, restrained in physical activities; Guarding his thought, guarding his words, guarding his physical activities, guarding his organs of senses, guarding his chastity; Without anger, without pride, without attachment, without greed, calm, grave, devoid of attachment, desisted from everything, freed from compulsion;
Without ego, without possession, with the tie (of worldly bondage) cut, free from any stain of worldliness; Liberated by giving up suffering, like bell-metal unstained by water; Sin-free like a conch taking a black dot, without obstruction like the course of life, without support like the firmament,
