________________ ...WHERE HE SLEPT. Macau Mme SOMETIMES AS HE MEDITATED, INSECTS AND WORMS CRAWLED OVER HIS BODY AND STUNG HIM, BUT HE REMAINED UNDISTURBED. LAVITI One day while he was in Bohad jungle, he asked the villagers the way to Uttar Vachala. The shorter beaten path was infested by a venomous serpent. The outer safe path was longer. Mahavira knew no fear. He entered the serpent infested forest. In the dense jungle the serpent saw Mahavira. UNPERTURBED BY THE FURIOUS HISSING OF THE SERPENT, MAHAVIRA PROCEEDED. THE SERPENT CAME NEAR HIM AND WAS ABOUT TO BITE HIM. MAHAVIRA STARED AT IT CALMLY AND WITH COMPASSION. IMMEDIATELY IT SUBSIDED AND SLITHERED AWAY AS IF ASHAMED OF ITSELF. 12 Jain Education Intemational 2010_03 For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.orgPage Navigation
