Verse 36

³⁶the worst of them urinate on, and they spit on his head. They make him talk though he keeps silence, and if he does not speak they beat him. ³⁷Others threaten him with words, saying, He is a thief. Some tie him with a rope: Tie him up, tie him up. ³⁸Some throw insults, despising him: This one is a fraud with dharma for his flag. His money gone, thrown off by his own people, he took up this way of living. ³⁹See how much there is in this one, how firm he is, like the king of mountains. By silence he gets what he is after, and his mind is made up, like a heron's. ⁴⁰So some laugh at him and others break wind at him. They tied that twice-born man up and shut him in, as if he were a toy.

⁴¹So he understood that whatever suffering came, from other beings, from the gods, from his own body, came as what had been set out for him to undergo. ⁴²Brought low by the lowest of men, who were trying to bring him down, he stood in his own duty, took hold of the firmness that belongs to clarity, and sang this song.
