“With knobbly knees, “Kālapabbaṅgasaṅkāso, thin and veiny, kiso dhamanisanthato; eating and drinking but little—Mattaññū annapānamhi, this person’s spirit is undaunted.” adīnamānaso naro”.
“Pestered by flies and mosquitoes “Phuṭṭho ḍaṁsehi makasehi, in the wilds, the formidable forest, araññasmiṁ brahāvane; one should mindfully endure, Nāgo saṅgāmasīseva, like an elephant at the head of the battle. sato tatrādhivāsaye.
