## Muni-Life and Emergencies
75
And they considered that complete non-violence was achieved only through that ascetic practice where even a particle of beginning did not occur. For the sake of that complete non-violence and the attainment of that supreme Brahman, you renounced both internal and external possessions and entered the Naigranthya ashram, adopting your natural Digambar attire. Therefore, you did not keep any money with you, and even considered associating with money to be against your Muni-hood. You had no attachment to the few possessions you had in the form of cleansing tools (karmadal), tools of restraint (pichhi), and tools of knowledge (books, etc.), even if someone took them away, you were not concerned in the least. You always slept on the ground and never adorned or decorated your body; if sweat accumulated on it and made it dirty, you would wash it yourself with your own hands and never tried to show your bright form to others; rather, you tried to conquer that dirt-born assembly with equanimity and wash away the karmic fruits, and in this way, you remained naked and happily endured other hardships like cold, heat, etc.; in this way, you have revealed yourself as 'Nagnaatko' and 'Malmalinatanu' in one of your descriptions, with pride.
Samantbhadra ate only once a day, never at night, and even that meal was according to the prescribed method of the Agamas.
Therefore, for the sake of attainment, the supremely compassionate one, both the scriptures, you, who are like the wind, are not attached to a distorted body. || 119 ||
1. 'Kancyam Nagnaatkoham Malmalinatanu' etc. in the verse.
