1-2-3 Metarya Muni one day moving about for alms in the excellent town Rājagriha, went to the house of a goldsmith (who was known as the murderer of a Muni). Métārya Muni whose both eyes dropped down by tight bandage of the head with a piece of fresh leather, but who did not swerve from his ascetic life like Mandara Giri. Besides, I pay homage to Métarya Muni who did not say, out of mercy for the kaunca bird ( curlew), that the bird had swallowed the gold-beads of the goldsmith, although he knew it, who was well-versed in nine Pūrvas, and who was indifferent towards his own body.
