v1.c7.92

¹ M. i. 238; see also S. i. 66, where a deva praises Gosāla as a man who had attained to perfect self-control by fasting and austere practices. He had abandoned speech and wordy strife with any person, was equable, a speaker of truth, a doer of no evil. That the life of the Ājīvakas was austere may be gleaned from their condemnation of monks carrying parasols (Vin. ii. 130).
