## Chapter 2: The Extensive Refutation of the Doctrine of Authority
**37**
"Having wandered through the cycle of birth and death, in the form of the four paths, and having experienced the suffering of birth, aging, and death, what suffering have I not experienced? I have experienced much suffering." (78)
"Further, I will explain the various kinds of suffering I have experienced in this cycle of existence. I have consumed many kinds of *pudgalas* in this cycle of existence, both in the form of food and in the form of their transformations, but I have never been satisfied." (79)
**Meaning:** "While wandering through the cycle of birth and death, in the form of the four paths, I have consumed many *pudgalas* such as curd, sugar, jaggery, rice, water, etc., both in the form of food and in the form of their transformations, such as feces and urine, but I have never been satisfied. My desire has only increased." (79)
"Further, I will explain with an example why I have never been satisfied. Just as fire is not satisfied by adding more fuel, and the salt ocean is not filled by thousands of rivers, including the Ganges and the Indus, similarly, this living being cannot be satisfied by the objects of desire, such as food, women, and clothes."
