## Chapter 262: The Scattering of the Rejection of the Eager One
This Dharma, indeed, has matured in the midst of pure conduct. The nature, born from the previous births, is like a shield. ||17||
Oh, how fearful! Tell me, O Muni, everything. He has been well-instructed in all twelve types of virtuous Dharma. ||18||
He is devoted to the Jina's teachings, with a distinguished appearance, deeply attached. He is adorned with Jina-purification, Guru-worship, understanding, and meditation. ||19||
Possessing such virtuous qualities, he was given by Jina-datta, as his own, to Buddha-dasa. ||20||
He, the great, the powerful, was given in marriage by the low-born one. He enjoys worldly pleasures, bound to her. ||21||
Thus, Jina-datta, the husband, said, "I have given her to you." He has given her to you, like a slave, in the house of the law. ||22||
Jina-datta, seeing her there, in this bed, said, "I will bring disgrace upon the Dharma, by this transgression." ||23||
Buddha-dasa said, "I will make a separate house for her." Jina-datta, pleased and honored, agreed. ||24||
He, with his new-born attachment, took her to the house of the law. Buddha-dasa was given a separate dwelling. ||25||
In the house of Subhaddā, the Muni's food and drink are always available. They enter, they carry, and they offer the best of offerings. ||26||
Buddha-dasa's wife, meeting with these, is filled with envy. Because of her greed, she remains wicked, even with the Jinas. ||27||
Hearing this, she spoke harsh and bitter words, filled with anger. "Such a thing is not possible, it is not proper." ||28||
The sun does not abandon its course, even when the clouds gather. Similarly, Subhaddā's virtue does not break, no matter what. ||29||
A lotus does not wither, even when it grows in a swamp. Similarly, Subhaddā's virtue does not break, no matter what. ||30||
A barren woman does not give birth to a son, even with the help of a magician. Similarly, Subhaddā's virtue does not break, no matter what. ||31||
A thief does not reach the underworld, even if he steals the wealth of the gods. Similarly, Subhaddā's virtue does not break, no matter what. ||32||
These are the words of separation, spoken by those who are wicked and depraved. Thus, she entered the house of Subhaddā. ||33||
She, with her body free from karma, is difficult to understand, and impossible to defeat. Her eyes, filled with envy, looked upon her. ||34||
