## The Discourse on the Rejection of the Eager One
The Brahman said, "You will become a vomit-eater, you will be disgusted. Enough of this disgusting act, child!" || 92 ||
Hearing this, Bhavadeva also said, "Oh, boy! You will become a vomit-eater, lower than even a dog." || 93 ||
Nagila said, "If you know this, O Rishi, and you speak it, then why do you still desire to eat me?" || 94 ||
"I am the lowest of the low, filled with the flesh, bones, excrement, and urine of animals. I am even more disgusting than vomit. Why are you not ashamed to desire me?" || 95 ||
"You see the burning fire, but you do not see the fire beneath your feet. You teach others this way, but you do not teach yourself." || 96 ||
"What is the merit of those who are skilled in teaching others? The merit of people lies in those who are skilled in teaching themselves." || 97 ||
Bhavadeva said, "I have been well taught by you, O sinless one! I was led astray like a blind man on the path. Now, having seen my own people, I will go to the presence of my Guru. I will contemplate my transgressions and perform the difficult penance." || 98 ||
Nagila also said, "Why are you concerned with your own people and their share of your wealth? They are obstacles to your seeing the Guru, for they are embodied." || 100 ||
"Therefore, go to the feet of your Guru, with a tamed mind, and practice your vows. I will also renounce in the presence of the renunciates." || 101 ||
Bhavadeva then bowed to the worthy images, with a composed mind. He went to the Guru's place and performed the necessary actions, such as contemplation. || 102 ||
Bhavadeva, maintaining his renunciation without transgression, lived for a long time and in the beginning of the Kalpa, he became a Chakra-Samanika (a celestial being) in the heavens. || 103 ||

## 31. The Story of Mammana in the Commentary on the *Aavashyakaharitriya* by Shri Sangrahadhyana
There was a man named Mammana. He was afflicted by greed and had accumulated a great deal of wealth. He did not eat or drink, and he had a large, strong, beautiful, golden chariot made by many crores of skilled artisans, adorned with divine jewels and a magnificent, powerful horse. He had another chariot, also made by many artisans. He was having this chariot made, and every day, for the purpose of its construction, he would bring many cartloads of wood, which was very hard and difficult to obtain.
One day, the king was going out with his queen, and he saw this man. He was moved with compassion and said to the queen, "Look, how hard these people work for the king! They fill their carts with heavy wood, which is difficult to obtain." || 1 ||
The king asked, "What is it?" The queen said, "This man is afflicted by greed." The king, hearing this, said, "What are you afflicted by?" The man said, "My chariot is not complete." The king said, "Take some gold." The man said, "I have no need for it. Just complete my chariot." The king, having been told this, took him home and showed him his treasury. The king said, "Even with all my wealth, it will not be enough to complete this chariot." The man said
