I am a courtesan. Even to qualify to express your carnal desire for me i 4 you have to pay one hundred thousand gold coins to me.”
When he heard this, the ascetic became thoughtful. He said—“I 55 am a mendicant who has renounced the world. I don't have even a 4 single penny with me.” Kosha said—“The king of Nepal gives a gem i studded shawl to every visiting mendicant. Its price is one hundred
thousand gold coins. You may go to Nepal and bring that shawl for me."
A man consumed by lust forgets what is good or bad for him and is prepared to do anything. The ascetic forgot all about his discipline

have become eager to accept again what you abandoned considering
it to be despicable and base?" 5 Kosha's statement opened the ascetic's eyes. He involuntarily Suttered—"Sthulibhadra, who does harshest of the harsh spiritual
