Arhat Rṣabha of Kosala gave up the care of his body for a thousand years and exposed it, regularly like an unfurled flag, to hardships. During this period, whenever any hardship came, he bore it in all respects, forgave it, overlooked it, believed it: to be no hardship, howsoever severe, maybe due to divine wrath, or caused by men, animals or forces of nature or from any other adverse agents.
तएणं उसमे अरहा कोसलिए अणगारे जाए इरिया - समिए भासा - समिए एसणा-समिए आयाण- भंड-मत्त - णिक्खेवणा-समिए मण-समिए वय -समिए ay-afag anyà aq-qà mu-yà yfafay ya-duurû asì अभाए अलोहे संते पसंते उवसंते परिणिव्वुडे प्रणासवे श्रममे अकिंच छिण्ण-गांठे णिरुवलेवे |
Then Arhat Rṣabha became homeless; circumspect in movement, circumspect in words, circumspect in desires, circumspect in acceptance-accumulation-renunciation, circumspect in throwingout stool, urine, saliva and body dirt; restrained in mind, restrained in words, restrained in physical activities; guarding his thoughts, guarding his words, guarding his physical activities, guarding his organs of senses, guarding his chastity; without anger, without pride, without attachment, desisted from everything, freed from compulsion; without ego, without possession, with the tie (of worldly bondage) cut, free from any stain of worldliness.
