8.
Just as an elephant fighting on the battle front is not easily baffled by piercing weapons, so also did Bhagavăn Mahavira remain completely unruffled by and triumphed over various kinds of hardships he experienced in Lädha area. (Although) he occasionally did not find a village or a suitable abode in Ladha to stay
in, (he remained completely unperturbed). E: 398217H9fsvoj , trifazifq TUTTI __ पडिणिक्खमित्तु लूसिंसु, एत्तो परं पलेहित्ति ।। 9. Uvasaskamamtamapaļinnań, gāmamtiyaṁ pi appat
tam. Padiņikkhamittu lüsińsu, etto param palehitti.. 9. The Bhagavån did not desire a fixed abode or a defi
nite diet. He would go to a village for boarding or lodging only when occasion arose. Sometime it so happened that before he entered a village some people would try to stop him, and even hit him and say --- ''Why don't you go away from here, and look for some other place?".
ANNOTATION 9. The inhabitants of Ladha did not relish the Bhagavān's nudity. This is why they would stop him from entering the village.
