## The Chapter of Purity
**453** The one who gives such donations, obtains nine types of merit or nine types of devotion. The wise and virtuous Shreyans Kumar, motivated by the karmas of his past lives, performed all these devotions. ||86-87||
**18** Considering the Lord to be highly desirable and a special recipient, Shreyans Kumar, attaining supreme satisfaction, offered the Lord a donation of food prepared for the occasion. ||88||
**89** Considering the Lord's qualities like contentment, absence of begging, renunciation of possessions, and self-reliance, the Lord would accept food only with his own hands. ||89||
**10** Thinking, "If I get a good seat, I will be content, but if I don't, I will feel aversion, and in that state, I will be unrestrained," the Lord would eat standing up. ||10||
**9** The Lord endured bodily pain to overcome attachment to pleasure, and to promote Dharma. ||9||
**12** The Lord embraced the state of nakedness, which is characterized by complete renunciation, the direct cause of liberation, and is untouched by the vices of violence, protection, and begging. It is extremely powerful, impossible for ordinary beings to attain, and not desired by anyone. It is like a newborn child, free from change and disturbance. ||12||
**13** The Lord practiced the vow of non-bathing, considering the vices of begging for oil, etc., the attachment to gain and loss, and the violence towards tiny creatures like lice in the hair. ||14||
**15** Despite not eating for a year, the Lord maintained strength and radiance in his body. ||15||
**96** The Lord would shave his own hair, considering the need to acquire and protect the tools like a razor, and the worry of losing them. ||96||
**97** The Lord, who was pacified by the five senses, protected by the three secrets, and free from desire, was a great soul, a great being, and a great liberator. ||97||
