Lord Mahavira
5.
niddam pi no pagamae, sevai bhagavam utthae; jaggavai ya appanam, isim saiyasi apadinne Even sleep for pleasure and rest, The Lord, waking, did never seek; And waked Himself up, When by chance drowsy, the unaffected One.
sambujjhamane punaravi, asimsu bhagavam uttae; nikkhamma egaya rao, bahim camkamiya muhuttagam. Rising (from sleep), again, The Lord seated Himself, waking; And going out in the night sometimes, Walked about for a while.
sayanehim tassuvasagga, bhima asi anegaruva ya; samsappaga ya pana, aduva pakkhino uvacaranti. At those abodes, trials, Terrible and manifold He had; The crawling creatures, And birds upon Him preyed.
8-10.
adu kucara uvacaranti, garamakkha ya sattihattha ya; adu gamiya uvasagga, itti egaiya puriso ya. (8) ihaloiyaim paraloiyaim bhimaim age garuvaim; avi subhi-dubbi-ganhaim, saddaim ane garuvaim. (9) ahiyasae saya samie, phasaim viruvaruvaim; araim raim abhibhuya, riyai mahane abahuvai. (10) And bad people molested Him, The village-guards, and the lancers too; The trials by the village folk, And varieties of women and men too; (8) Of this world and the other world, Terrible and of sorts many; And smells, good and bad, Sounds of varieties diverse; (9) Endured He ever self-restrained, Touches of varieties great; Overcoming displeasure and pleasure, Travelled the Mahana, silent and calm.
