When this country was being protected
by Lord Rishabha, none coveted for
himself anything from any body in any
manner.
स कदाचिद् भगवानृषभो ब्रह्मर्षिप्रवरसभायां
प्रजानां निशामयन्तीनामात्मजानुवाच ।
Lord Rishabha once addressed his
sons in the assembly of the greatest of
Brahmin sages and as the subjects were
listening :
नायं देहो देहभाजां नृलोके
कष्टान्कामानर्हते विड्भुजां ये ।
तपो दिव्यं पुत्रका येन सत्त्वं
शुद्ध्येद्यस्माद्ब्राह्मसौख्यं त्वनन्तम् ॥
"This body with which men have been
blessed in this world of human beings,
does not deserve the miserable pleasures
which are like those of the filth-eating
creatures. Sons ! this body deserves that
divine penance, by which one's mind
gets purified, and through which, is
obtained the permanent bliss of Self.
