In Lâdha (happened) to him many dangers. Many natives attacked him. Even in the faithful part of the rough country? the dogs bit him, ran at him.

Few people kept off the attacking, biting dogs. Striking the monk, they cried 'Khukkhů,' and made the dogs bite him.

Many other men-Such were the inhabitants. dicants, eating rough food in Vaggabhûmi, and carrying about a strong pole or a stalk (to keep off the dogs), lived there.

He was struck with a stick, the fist, a lance, hit with a fruit, a clod, a potsherd. Beating him again and again, many cried.

When he once (sat) without moving his body, they cut his flesh, tore his hair under pains, or covered him with dust.

Throwing him up, they let him fall, or disturbed him in his religious postures; abandoning the care of his body, the Venerable One humbled himself and bore pain, free from desire.
