ヴィヤーサは語った。「その聖仙は断食していながらも、再び落ち穂を拾い集めに出かけた。飢えはムドガラの内心を乱すことも、徳の道から逸らすこともできなかった。身体が苦しみにさらされても、彼の心は揺るがず、よく律せられていた。」

Educational Q&A

True tapas is shown when bodily hardship—like hunger—fails to shake one’s ethical steadiness and mental composure; discipline is measured by freedom from inner विकार (disturbance) under pressure.

Vyāsa describes the sage Mudgala living by uñchavṛtti (gleaning). Even while fasting, he resumes collecting scattered grains, and hunger cannot compel him into agitation or wrongdoing.
