आरामागारे, गामे णगरेवि एगदा वासो । सुण्णगारे वा, रुक्खमूले वि एगदा वासो ॥ Agamtare ārāmāgāre, game pagarevi egadā vāso. Susane sunnagāre, vā, rukkhamūle vi egadā vāso..

The Bhagavan sometimes used to stay in inns or resthouses; sometimes in villages and towns; sometimes on cremation grounds, in deserted houses or under the trees.
५. जिद्दं पि णो पगामाए, सेवइ भगवं उठाए । GMNIECI य अप्पाणं, ईसि साई या सी अपडिण्णे ॥
Etehim muņi sayaņehim, samane āsī paterasa vase. Raim divam pi jayamāņe, appamatte samahie jhāti.. During the period of twelve-and-a-half years of his sadhana, Bhagavan Mahavira, the wise sramana used to live cheerfully in these diverse lodges.
ĀYĀRO
He would meditate day and night by making (his mind, body and speech) steady and poised and his senses and passions subdued.
Niddam pi no pagamãe, sevai bhagavam uṭṭhãe. Jaggavati ya appāņam, isim sãi ya si apaḍinne..
The Bhagavan did not seek sleep for the sake of pleasure and comfort. (On feeling drowsy,) he would stand up and keep himself wide awake. (After long spells of sleeplessness, for the upkeep and maintenance of body,) he would have only a nap. He never craved for the comfort of sleep.
ANNOTATION 5. During the entire period of twelve-anda-half long years of his sädhana, the Bhagavan slept only for one antar muhurta ( i. e. less than 48 minutes). That too, not continuously, but only intermittently. He would not lie down at all. He would take only a nap, either standing or sitting, and then immediately go into medita
