## The Scattering of the Rejection of Eagerness
## 38. The Analogy of the Farmer in the Presence of the Glorious Preceptor, Due to Hatred

Once, the Great Hero, the Jina, Gautama, while wandering like a Kalpavriksha (wish-fulfilling tree), addressed a farmer on the path: "O son! This farmer you see before you, for his enlightenment, you should quickly go there. Great benefit will come to you from him." Accepting this, Gautama went there and said: "O noble one! Is your Samadhi (meditation) present? Why do you, with your many senses and other living beings, engage in this farming, which is full of violence, and thus commit sins? How can your soul be thrown into ruin for the sake of a family of sinners?"

Because:

> The world is not yours, nor is it anyone else's.
> Whatever karma you do, you will reap its fruits.
> At the time of your karma's fruition,
> Neither relatives nor friends will help you. ||1||

Therefore, taking refuge in penance, and being drenched in the nectar of the true words, "From the ocean of existence, you will be liberated," he spoke: "Master! I am a Brahmin, and for the sake of fulfilling the desires of my seven daughters and others, I commit many sinful acts. Therefore, you are my brother and mother. Whatever you command, I will do. I will not disobey your revered words." Then, he also accepted the virtuous garb offered to him. Taking him, who had taken the vow, with him, Gautama went towards the Jina. Then, he asked: "Revered one! Where are we going?" Gautama replied: "Where my teachers are, there." He asked: "Those who are worshipped by gods and demons, are they also worthy of your worship? What are they like?" Then, the qualities of the Arhat (liberated one) were explained to him. Hearing this, he attained right faith, and due to seeing the wealth of the Jina, he attained it in a special way. Then, gradually, as he saw the glorious hero, adorned with his robes, hatred arose in his mind. Gautama said: "O Muni! Worship the glorious hero." He replied to the Ganadhara (leader of the assembly): "If this is your teacher, then there is no purpose for my renunciation. Being your disciple is enough. Take this garb. I will go to my own temple." Saying this, when he had abandoned his garb, clenched his fist, and departed, seeing his actions, all the gods, starting with Indra, laughed and said: "Oh! Indra-bhuthi has acquired a better disciple. Seeing this wonder, Gautama, ashamed in his mind, asked the hero the reason for his hatred. The master replied to him: "O son! By contemplating the qualities of the Arhat, his knots have been broken. Therefore, great benefit has come to him and to you. As to why hatred arose in him upon seeing me, listen to his story: In the past, in the city of Potanapura, I was Vasudeva, the son of the king of the Prajapatis, named Tripṛṣṭha. At that time, the king of the three regions, the wielder of the half-wheel, was named Ashvagrīva. Once, in his assembly, he asked a knower of omens about his own closing of his eyes. He replied: "From the hand of Tripṛṣṭha, your death will come." From then on, I, carrying hatred for Tripṛṣṭha, devised ways to kill him. But they all proved futile. Once, in the forest before that city, a lion was causing havoc
