________________ 404 ĀYARO took only insipid, totally fatless food. This sort of foodhabit led to their being ill-tempered. Anger, vituperative tongue, and assault were almost habit with them. They used to cover their bodies with grass. The Bhagavān used to take a single meal only at midday. In Ladha, the Bhagavān would get only rice soaked in water, urada (a kind of pulse)-soup or sour-soup, but all without salt. The dogs of that place were so fierce that people had to use sticks and cudgels to ward them off. Since the Bhagavan was unarmed, the dogs would frequently and easily attack him. ४. अप्पे जणे णिवारेइ, लूसणए सुणए दसमाणे। छुछुकारंति आहंसु, समणं कुक्कुरा डसंतुत्ति । 4. Appe jane nivärei, lusanae sunae dasamāne. Chuchukāramti āhamsu, samanam kukkurā das aṁtutti.. When dogs would bark at or come to bite the Bhagavān, only a solitary person would come to his rescue; the others would set the dogs on him. ५. एलिक्खए जणे भुज्जो, बहवे वज्जभूमि फरुसासी। ल४ि गहाय णालीयं, समणा तत्थ एव विहरिसु॥ 5. Elikkhae jane bhujjo, bahave vajjabhūmi pharusāsi. Latthim gahāya nālīyam, samanā tattha eva viha rimsu.. In such a county did the Bhagavān spend (six long months). Most people of Vajrabhumi were ill-tempered owing to insipid food. In that countryside, some śra mana's (ascetics) always roamed with either a stickl or a cudgel in hand. ६. एवं पि तत्थ विहरंता, पुटपुव्वा अहेसि सुणएहिं । ___ संलुंचमाणा सुणएहिं, दुच्चरगाणि तत्थ लाढेहिं ।। 5. A lathi (stick) is usually of the height of a man, while a nãlika (cudgel) is four angulas (twenty-fourth part of a cubit) longer than it.
