Who are you ? Who has sent you here for spyhood ? The royal staff being angry began to ask Bhadramuni frequently.

But Bhadramuni having been stable in a stable of statue did not answer at all. so the royal servants got angry and throwing acid on his body began to tear his skin.

Those wicked people covered Bhadramuni is body all the four sides with thorns like a sword having an acute edge and then leaving him behind they went home.

They cut up the flesh from all the four sides of Bhadramuni's body as the fools tear up the wings of wisdom fo the wise.

Bhadramuni event if having been aculty pained by pointed thorms did not show any sigh of anger, like an ocean of mercy and tolerance he bone it bravely and patiently.
