They spread out, hiding behind the dense folds of their garments, occasionally revealing the disc of their buttocks. ||111|| With a gesture of breaking their limbs, they displayed their full, raised breasts, for a long time captivating the one with beautiful eyes. ||112|| If you are truly free from attachment, why do you not abandon attachment? If you are truly independent of the body, why do you not abandon this chest as well? ||113|| If you are compassionate, then how will you protect us from the cruel weapon, the arrow shot by the wicked? ||114|| If you are indifferent to our desires for love, then some respect is due, but not after death. ||115|| Master! Abandon your harshness and fulfill our desires. Do not turn away from our pleas, they said for a long time. ||116|| Even with songs, dances, and bodily movements, and with the flattery of celestial women, the world teacher was not disturbed. ||117|| Thus, for twenty nights, the wicked celestial being, Sangamaka, tormented the world teacher, who was in a state of complete surrender. ||118|| In the morning, Sangamaka thought, "Oh, this one, even though he is in a state of complete surrender, does not waver in his meditation, like the ocean that does not waver from its boundaries." ||119|| "What should I do? Should I go to heaven, having broken my promise, or how should I go? I will torment him, staying here for a long time." ||120|| When the sun touched the path, the Lord, with his vision restored for only a moment, moved towards the village called Valuka. ||121|| Sangamaka, the wicked celestial being, created a mountain of sand on the path, resembling a sea of sand. ||122|| "Maternal uncle! Maternal uncle!" the bandits shouted loudly to the Lord, shaking the earth as if a mountain had split. ||123|| The Lord of peace, the ocean of nectar, went to the village of Valuka, his feet sinking into the sand up to his knees. ||124|| The wicked celestial being, with his cruel nature, followed the Lord, relentlessly, in the city, the village, the forest, and everywhere else. ||125|| Six months passed, created by the tormentor, Sangamaka. Then the Lord went to Gokula, where there was a festival at that time. ||126|| The Lord, having fasted for six months, wished to break his fast and entered Gokula to beg for alms. ||127|| Wherever the Lord went, to every house, the wicked celestial being, with his evil mind, created obstacles. ||128|| Knowing that the wicked celestial being had been subdued, the Lord, having finished his begging, stood outside, like a statue. ||129|| The celestial being, wondering, "What is this broken outcome?" looked at the Lord, but saw him undisturbed. ||130|| The celestial being thought, "For six months, I have continuously tormented him, but he has not been shaken, like the ocean that is not shaken by the waves." ||131|| "Even with this long time, he will not waver from his meditation. My effort here has been in vain, like an elephant trying to break a mountain." ||132|| "Having abandoned the pleasures of heaven, like the earth that has been cursed, how long, alas, will I wander, deceived by my own foolishness?" ||133|| Thinking thus, the celestial being bowed to the world teacher, folded his hands, lowered his head, and spoke humbly. ||134
