4. Samvaccharam sāhiyam māsam, jam na rikkā'si vatthagam bhagavam;
acelae tato cãi, tam vosajja vattham anagare. (4) For a year and a month,
The robe the Lord left not off; (But), naked and relinquishing was He, then, Giving up the robe, as a houseless monk.
5. adu porisim tiriya-bhittim, cakkhumāsajja antaso jhāi;
aha cakkhu-bhiya-sahiyā, te “hanta-hantā” bahave kandimsu. (5) Then on wall in front of man's length,
Fixing His eyes, inwardly did He meditate; Frightened by His eyes, and assembled, Exclaiming 'Oh alas, Oh alas' cried many.
6. sayaņehim viimissehim, itthio tattha se parinnāyā;
sāgārivam na se seve, iti se sayam pavesiyā jhãi. (6) In abodes intermixed,
Women He avoided; In sexual act He never indulged, (But), secluding Himself, meditated deep.
7. je ke'ime agărat thā, misībhāvam pahāva se jhāi;
puțjho vi nābhibhāsimsu, gacchai näivattai añjü.
(7) Whosoever were there in the house,
Shunning them all, He meditated alone; Answered not, when asked, Left, but unconcerned, never swerving.
8. no sukaram etam egesim, nābhibhāse abhivāyamāne;
hayapuvvõ tattha dandehim, lúsiyapuvvõ appapunnehim. (8) Not easy indeed was it for all,
Not to respond, being greeted, Or with sticks beaten, Or cut by people of merit thin.
9-10. pharusăim duttiikkhāim, aiyacce muni parakkamumāne;
āghāja-nafta-gīyāim, dandajuddhāim mutthijuddhāim. (9) gadhie mihu kahäsu, samayammi nāyasue visogě adakkhữ;
etāim so urālāim, gacchai nāyaputte asaraņāe. (10) (9-10) (Sounds) harsh and the unbearable,
Overcoming, the Sage exerted hard; The tales, dances, and songs, Stick-fighting and boxing, (9)
