The Third Study: The Chulani Pita
[121]
When the Samanovasaya heard the commotion, he went to where the Chulani Pita was and said, "Son! Why are you shouting so loudly?"
The Chulani Pita's Reply
[138]
The Samanovasaya, the Chulani Pita, said to his mother, the Bhadra Sathvahi, "Mother! I don't know who that man was, but he was very angry. He drew a large blue sword and said to me, 'O Chulani Pita, the Samanovasaya, the seeker of the path! If you do not abandon and break your vows today (the vows of Sila, Vrata, Veramanai, Pacchakkhanai, and Poshadhopavasa), then you will be tormented by great suffering and die prematurely.'
[139]
When that man said this to me, I remained fearless and continued my meditation.
[140]
Seeing me meditating fearlessly, that man came near me and said to me again, and again, "O Chulani Pita, the Samanovasaya! I will do as I said, I will drench your body in blood and flesh." And he did just that.
[141]
I endured all the pain, the intense, unbearable, sharp, fierce, agonizing, and unbearable suffering with equanimity, forgiveness, patience, and forbearance. I endured it all.
