TWENTY TWO PARISHA JAI (Victories of pinches)

 
  1. SHUDHA JAI

    Hunger etc. are the twenty-two kinds of afflictions. These have to be endured by the ascetic striving after emancipation. The saint, who fails to obtain pure food or the required quantity of food, and whose torment of hunger is not dispelled, does not seek for food in improper places and at improper times. He does not tolerate neglect of his daily duties even to a small extent, and he is enthusiastic in study and meditation. He has himself practised and enabled others to practice fasting and eating less than his fill on several occasions. He takes only tasteless food. The water he drinks is parched as the drops of water poured in a red-hot vessel. Even when the ascetic is extremely hungry, he feels that it is better not to obtain food rather than obtain food. Such an ascetic who ignores the torment of hunger conquers hunger. (1) 

  2. PIPASA JAI

    The ascetic has given up bathing, immersing himself in water and sprinkling his body with water. Like the birds he has no fixed abode. He may at times be tormented by parching thirst, owing to various reasons such as unsuitable food (too saltish, oily or astringent food), the heat of summer, bilious fever, fasting and so on. Even then he does not seek remedy, but extinguishes this flame of the fire of thirst by the cool and fragrant water of his meditation kept in the fresh, earthenware pot of fortitude. Such patient endurance of thirst is to be extolled. (2)
