Educational Q&A
Even a sage experiences bodily needs like hunger; the narrative highlights how necessity is met through simple, nonviolent means (gathering fruit) while maintaining the broader discipline of dharma and restraint.
While traveling, the sage—afflicted by hunger—spots a fruit-laden bilva tree, climbs it, and starts plucking and dropping the fruits to eat and continue his journey.
