## Chapter Thirty-Four
**165** They, the steadfast ones, with their bodies covered by the cold, endured the icy winds, as if their limbs were clothed. **166** These steadfast ones, embracing the difficult three-time yoga, sustained it for a long time through their fortitude. **167** They, bearing the intensely radiant and difficult-to-attain tapas within, appeared like waves with their bodies, as if imitating the ocean. **168** These wise ones, considering the enjoyed and abandoned pleasures as meaningless like a garland without fragrance, did not desire them again. **169** Considering the life of beings as fleeting like foam, dew, or evening clouds, they firmly attached themselves to the eternal path. **170** Disenchanted with the abode of samsara and freed from the dwelling of homes, they attained supreme joy in the path of the Jinas, the cause of liberation. **171** With the firm conviction that there is no other higher teaching, these royal sages, with their mind, speech, and body, believed in the teachings of the Guru. **172** Devoted to the eternal Dharma, as spoken by the Jinas, these seekers of liberation, bound by the shackles of karma, stood up for liberation. **173** Filled with faith born from fervor, they contemplated the great vows, which are difficult to attain, on the supreme, pure path. **174** They contemplated the six great vows: non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, celibacy, non-possession, and non-eating after sunset. **175** These steadfast ones, with their vows firmly established for life, attained supreme purity, having renounced all the faults through the three-fold repentance. **176** Free from all beginnings, pure, without possessions, and having renounced attachment to their bodies, they worshipped the path.
