(14) This course, indeed, was followed,
By the Mahana wise;
The Hero, unaffected,
The Kasava, the Seer Great.
-Thus do I say.
1. omoyariyam căci, apuṭṭhe vi bhagavam rogehim; puttho va se apuṭṭho vã, no se saijjai teiccham.

(1) Scanty food the Lord ever took,
Though by diseases unattacked;
Attacked or not attacked;
Medical treatment, he desired not.
(2) Purgatives and emetics,
2. samsohanam ca vamanam ca, gãyabbhamgaṇam siņāṇam ca; sambahaṇam na se kappe, danta-pakkhālaṇam parinnãe.
Anointing the body, and bathing,
And massaging behoved Him not; From cleansing teeth, he ever abstained.
3. virae ya gamadhammehim, rīyai māhane akahuvāî; sisirammi egayā bhagavam, chājāě jhái āsī ya.
(3) Averse from pleasures sensuous,
Wandered the Mahaṇa speaking but little; In winter sometimes, the Lord, Meditated, seated in the shade.
4. ayavai ya gimhānam, acchai ukkuḍue abhi ate; adu jāvaittha lühenam, oyana-manthu kummāseṇam.
(4) To heat, he exposed Himself, in summer,
Or facing hot wind, sat squatting;
And lived on rough food,
Rice, pounded jujube and beans.

5. eyāņi tinni paḍiseve, attha mãse ya jāvae bhagavam; apiittha egaya bhagavam, addhamasam aduvā māsam pi.
(5) Only taking these three, the Lord, Sustained himself, eight months, Drank not water, sometimes, For a fortnight or even a month.
