The third rainy season of Mahāvīra’s asceticism was spent at Campā in severe penance. After this the two visited a settlement called Kālāya, where they sheltered for the night in an empty house which was resorted to by two lovers. In the darkness the ascetics were not detected, until Gosāla’s prurience betrayed him, and he was soundly beaten by the man. A similar incident occurred at another village called Pattakālaya.⁶
