Of rigid vows and endued with energy, the ascetic knew it. Knowing even what the birds had done, Jajali did not move. Bent strongly upon acquiring merit, no act involving the slightest injury to others could meet with his approval.
तान्यबुध्यत तेजस्वी स विप्रः संशितव्रतः॥ बुद्ध्वा च स महातेजा न चचाल च जाजलि। धर्मे कृतमना नित्यं नाधर्मं स त्वरोचयत्॥
