Bhagavan Mahavira's Endurance of Hardships
1.
Bhagavān Mahăvira bore with equipoise various kinds of hardships, including being pricked by the grass (typical of the Lādha country-side) the extremities of the weather, and bites of gad-flies and mosquitoes.
ANNOTATION 1. During the period of sadhanā Bhagavān Mahavira once paid a visit to the Ladha countryside (i.e. the districts of Tāmulaka, Midnāpur, Hugli and Burdvän in West Bengal) which abounded in prickly grass. Very often, this proved to be the cause of sharp bodily pain. The area in which this kind of grass luxuriously grew was also surrounded with mountains, which added to the cold atmosphere there.
The Bhagavān would also cheerfully bear the heat of the sun. In a place like Halduga, he had to put up with scorching and almost burning temperatures.
