Muni-life and Emergency.
They did the same—they no longer observed fasting, anashan, unodara, vruttiparisankhyan, rasaparitvag and kayaklesh, the external tapas, they had suspended them all for a while. They were now taking 32 mouthfuls of food; besides this, they had also received almost all the concessions that could be given to a sick muni. But even with all this, your hunger did not find any peace, it was increasing day by day and becoming more and more intense, the flames of the stomach fire and the sharp heat of the bile were burning the body's rasa and blood, the flames were running far and wide over the limbs of the body, and the daily little food was not enough for them at all—it was like sprinkling a little water on a blazing fire. Besides, if there was any interruption in the food on any day, then it became even more difficult—the hunger demon became even more fierce and merciless on that day. The reader cannot even imagine the great pain that Samantabhadra was experiencing. In such a situation, even the best of the brave lose their patience, faith is corrupted and knowledge is shaken. But Samantabhadra was a great soul, a great soul, a knower of the transmigration of the soul, he was equanimous in prosperity and adversity, he was the holder of pure right faith and his knowledge was not afflicted by sorrow, which is weakened when sorrow comes.
