30. At different places, in cities, at villages, (1) (hill-forts) quarries, hamlets, avenues, habitations at (2) the foot of hills, in camps, in stables, in the enclosures of herdsmen, in the crowds of pilgrims, in hermitages, on mountains, and the like, on every road, ill-treated by the worst creatures moving on the earth, just like an elephant harassed by mosquitoes, being threatened and struck, insulted with nuisance, spit at, pelted with stones, and showered with dung and dust, treated with nasty breaths and upbraiding;—neglecting all this, while in this bad home known as the body often described and considered as something real, yet realising in his essential nature (3) both being and non-being and remaining unperturbed in his glorious essence and destitute of the unreal attachment to self and its belongings and consequently having his thought uninterrupted, he all alone roamed through the world.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
