Even though he was being attacked, Dasanana said again and again, "Alas, the state of desire is stronger." ||17|| In the meantime, unable to see Sita who was immersed in sorrow, he submerged himself in the western salt ocean, the abode of the treasures. ||18|| A terrible night began, and Ravana, with a terrible mind, began to inflict afflictions on Sita, blinded by anger and desire. ||19|| Great owls hooted, ferrets barked, wolves howled strangely, and other warriors fought each other. ||20|| Tigers with short tails roared, snakes with hoods hissed, and ghosts, spirits, and goblins, with their sharp claws, ||21|| danced wildly, like the attendants of Yama, and approached Sita, terrifying. ||22||

Thinking of the five supreme beings in her mind, Sita remained fearless, and did not bow to Dasanana. ||23|| [Sri Trishatisalaaka Purva - 7 Sloka - 126 to 148] 26. In Kalushadhyana, the Sri Upadeshamala, the story of the Peetha - Maha Peetha is mentioned in the section on the things to be avoided and the things to be adopted.
In Mahavideha, the householder, the equivalent of a chakravarti, the teacher Vairanabha, lived with his younger brothers, Bahu, Subahu, Peetha, and Maha Peetha, who were the holders of the eleven limbs. There, Bahu, due to the weakening of his body, became a Vaiavritta of the Panchashatika Gachcha. Subahu, due to his suffering from being beaten, found pleasure in it, and the other two were engaged in their studies. On another occasion, while praising their qualities, the teacher praised Bahu and Subahu, saying, "You two are blessed and have achieved your purpose." From then on, they did not give up their royal nature, and they were praised for their diligence in their own work, but not for their devotion to their studies. This caused resentment in the minds of the other two towards their teacher. From that time onwards, they did not discuss this matter with anyone, and after a long time, they were born as a woman named Brahmi Sundari, and Vairanabha, Bahu, and Subahu were born as Rishabhadeva, Bharata, and Bahubali respectively. 26. In Kalushadhyana, the Sri Upadeshamala, the story of the sage who lived in the lion's cave is mentioned in the section on the things to be avoided and the things to be adopted.

In Pataliputra, the disciples of Aryasambhuta Vijaya Acharya, on the first day of the rainy season, received their teachers who had demonstrated their strength and fortitude. One of them lived in a lion's cave for four months without eating, another lived near a snake's hole, another lived on a well platform, and Sthulabhadra lived in the house of a wealthy woman who was a householder, and ate with her.
After receiving their teachers, they went to their respective places. The lion and the snake were pacified. The wealth of the woman was almost completely destroyed by thieves, and thinking that this was due to Sthulabhadra, various people harassed him. Seeing his unwavering nature, they were disappointed and fell at his feet. Knowing their intentions, he explained the Dharma to them. The woman became a Shravaka, and she gave up her lawsuit and accepted the Dharma.
