The Yogi King, observing the six types of external austerities, which are extremely difficult to perform, also observed the six types of internal austerities, which are mentioned later. (189) The austerity of atonement, in the case of the Muni who does not transgress, has become fulfilled, for what darkness can ever be in the sun? (190) In the same way, his austerity of humility had become internalized, for he, the supreme being, was the one who humbled everyone else. So, who would he be humble towards? (191) Or, he had become humble with the desire to become a Siddha, and worshipped the Siddha Bhagavans, for he had taken initiation by saying, "Salutations to the Siddhas." (192) Or, he had the appropriate humility in his knowledge, vision, conduct, austerity, and strength, for he was truly striving. (193) His austerity of engagement was limited to the three jewels, for the Supreme Lord, where else would he be engaged? (194) The meaning here is that in these three austerities of atonement, humility, and engagement, the Lord Vrishabhadeva was only the controller, not the controlled. He taught these to others, but he himself was not controlled by anyone else, meaning he did not follow these austerities by taking instructions from others. (195)
