102 The Victor's Penance
12. ayam antaramsi ko ettha, aham amsi'tti bhikkhu āhattu;
ayam uttame sě dhamme, tusinie sa kasāie jhāi. (12) Who is inside there?
I am here, a bhikṣu, said He; That was His way unique, Silent, though ill-treated, meditated He.
13-15. jamsippegě pave yanti, sisire mārue pavāyante;
tamsippege anagārā, himavāe nivāyam esanti. (13) sanghādio pavisissāmo, ehā ya samādahamāṇā; pihiyā vā sakkhām.o, aidukkham himaga-samphāsā. (14) tamsi bhagavam apadinne, ahe viyade ahiyāsae davie;
nikkhamma egayā rāo, cāei, bhagavam samiyāe. (15) (13-15) Some tremble with cold,
In winter, when gales blow; Then some monks houseless, At ice-fall, seek place sheltered from wind; (13) Rugs shall we wrap round, And kindling fuel, Or staying indoors, shall we bear, So painful the touches cold; (14) In (winter) that, the Lord, unaffected, Endured (pain) so terrible, strong in will; And going out in the night, sometimes, The Lord endured, quiet and calm. (15)
16. esa vihi aņukkanto, māhaņeņa maīmayā; apadinnena vīrena, kāsavena mahe siņā.
-tri bemi. (16) This course, indeed, was followed,
By the Māhaņa, wise; The Hero, unaffected, The Kāsava, the Seer Great.
-Thus do I say.

1. tanaphāse sīyaphase ya, teuphāse ya damsa-masage ya;
ahiyāsae sayā samie, phāsāim virūvarūvāim. (1) The touches of grass and the touches of cold,
The touches of fire and gnats and mosquitoes too; Ever did He, with equanimity, bear, The touches of varieties diverse,
