In Kampé there lived a Sravaka, the merchant Palita, who was a disciple of the noble and venerable MahAvira. (1) As a Sravaka he was well versed in the doctrines of the Nirgranthas. Once he went by boat to the town of Pihuzda on business. (2) A merchant gave him his daughter while he was doing business in Pihuzda. When she was big with child, he took her with him on his returning home. (3) Now the wife of PAlita was delivered of a child at sea; as the boy was born at sea (samudra), he was named Samudrapila. (4) Our merchant, the Srdvaka, went leisurely to Kamp, to his house; in his house the boy grew up surrounded by comfort. (5) He studied the seventy-two arts, and acquired knowledge of the world!; he was in the bloom of youth, and had a fine figure and good looks. (6) His father procured him a beautiful wife, Rapist, with whom he amused himself in his pleasant palace, like a Dégundaga god*. (7) Once upon a time he saw from the window of his palace a man sentenced to death, dressed for execution, on his way to the place of execution. (8) ? To render nitikévida. 2 For Dégundaga, see above, p. 88, note 2. LECTURE XXI. ) dose) Agitated by what he saw, Samudrap4la spoke thus: ‘Of wicked actions this is the bad result.’ (9) He became enlightened at once, the venerable man, and he was immensely agitated; he took leave of his parents, and entered the state of houselessness. (10) Abandoning the great distress to which the worldly? are liable, the great delusion, and whatever causes fear, one should adopt the Law of monks ?, the vows, the virtues, and the (endurance of) calamities. (11) One should keep the five great vows, viz. not to kill, to speak the truth, not to steal, to be chaste, to have no property whatever; a wise man should follow the Law taught by the Ginas. (12) A monk should have compassion on all beings, should be of a forbearing character, should be restrained and chaste, and abstaining from everything sinful; he should live with his senses under control. (13) Now and then’ he should travel in one country, 1 Saggantha = sagrantha, which is obviously the opposite of nirgrantha. The commentators correct samgamtha in samgam ka. The original reading is in MS. B. A. has samgamtha, and so had C. originally, but it corrects the tha into 4a. According to the commentators we should translate: abandoning worldly attachment which causes great distress, great delusion, black (Lésy4), and dangers, one should, &c. * Pary4ya-dharma.

(15) There are many opinions here among men, which a monk places in their true light; there will rise many dangerous and dreadful calamities, caused by gods, men, or animals, which are difficult to be borne and cause easily-discouraged men to sink under them; but a monk who comes in contact with them will not be afraid, like a stately elephant at the head of the battle.
