## Aturapatyakhyanaprakirnakam
**65.** For the protection of beings like Sampati, etc., a face-veil is used. For the examination of creatures that consume food and drink, a vessel is used.
**66.** For the sake of right faith, knowledge, conduct, and austerity, the virtuous ones accept robes and other requisites.
**67.** Without robes, a monk would be afflicted by cold, heat, bites, etc., and due to distraction, he would fall from right faith, etc.
**68.** Thus, the means of Dharma are the support of Dharma. Therefore, the acceptance of these by the vow-takers is not wrong, as it is well-established.
**69.** He who, without the means, wishes to save beings, etc., like the Lord, would have a fault even in not accepting them.
**70.** He would not be a true renunciate, nor would he be a true renunciate again. And such renunciation does not exist in India today.
**71.** Even though it is said that Shiva renounced everything, he abandoned the tip of his hair. He abandoned robes, etc., and became naked, and went out of the city.

**124.** When Bharata, the Chakravarti, was trying to make his younger brothers accept his rule, they renounced their kingdoms and became monks under Rishabhadeva. All of them attained Kevala Jnana. Bahubali, however, thought, "How can I accept his rule or become a monk out of fear?" He was filled with anger and a battle ensued between the two brothers. Bharata, skilled in the use of eyes, fists, clubs, and weapons, defeated Bahubali. Bharata thought, "Is this really the Chakravarti?" At that moment, the Chakra was given to him by the deity. Bahubali, seeing Bharata holding the Chakra, thought, "Should I crush him along with the Chakra? Or should I kill him, who has abandoned the rules of life? Oh, how difficult are these worldly desires! Those who are attached do not consider what is right and wrong." As it is said:
**1.** He does not see his mother, father, sister, or brother, but sees only the objects of desire, just as a person who is attached to worldly desires sees only them.
**124.** Thus, Bahubali, filled with dispassion, renounced the world and performed the five-fisted penance. The deity gave him the power to remove dust, etc. He took to monkhood. Seeing this, Bharata, ashamed of his actions, praised Bahubali in many ways and returned to his own place. Bahubali thought, "How can I, who am in disguise, praise my younger brothers who are Kevalins?" He remained there, standing in a state of complete surrender. A year passed. His body became like a pillar scorched by the cold wind, sun, and rain. Creepers spread all around him, and blades of grass and thorns grew on him. Ant-hills formed around his feet, and birds built their nests on his knees. The Lord's sisters, Brahmi and Sundari, went to the young ones and said, "Brother, come down from the pillar." They went and told him. He thought, "How can a liberated soul come down from the pillar? Ah, I understand! It is pride." "Shame on me, you wicked-minded one!
