Having called out, they spoke thus: "Truly, beloved of the gods! As we reached a certain tract of this waterless, desolate, long-distance wilderness, the water previously collected has been gradually consumed and exhausted. Therefore, truly, beloved of the gods, it is better for us to search and seek on every side in this waterless, desolate, long-distance wilderness for someone to give water." Having agreed among themselves to this matter, they searched and sought on every side in that waterless, desolate, long-distance wilderness for someone to give water. Having done so and finding no giver of water, they called out to one another a second time. Having called out, they spoke thus: > "Here, beloved of the gods, there is no giver of water. Truly, it is not permissible for us to take what is not given, or to approve of what is not given. Therefore, even in a time of calamity, let us not take what is not given, nor approve of what is not given, lest our austerities be impaired. Therefore, truly, beloved of the gods, it is better for us to cast aside in a solitary place our triple staffs, water-pots, bowls, skull-vessels, mattresses, hides, hooks, brushes, sacred rings, rosaries, umbrellas, shoes, and red-ochre robes, enter into the great river Gaṅgā, spread a bed of sand, and, emaciated by religious mortification, having renounced food and water, undergoing voluntary death like a felled tree, to dwell not anticipating death." Having agreed among themselves to this matter, they cast aside in a solitary place their triple staffs, water-pots, bowls, skull-vessels, mattresses, hides, hooks, brushes, sacred rings, rosaries, umbrellas, shoes, and red-ochre robes. Having cast them aside, they entered into the great river Gaṅgā, spread a bed of sand, mounted the bed of sand, sat facing east in cross-legged posture, and joining their hands together, placed their cupped palms reverently to their foreheads, and spoke thus: > "Homage to the arhats, up to those who have reached the abode named the state of perfection! > Homage to the ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, up to who desires to attain \[the same\]! > Homage to the wandering mendicant Ambaḍa, our teacher of Dharma, our instructor of Dharma! > Previously, in the presence of the wandering mendicant Ambaḍa, gross injury to living beings was renounced by us for life, false speech and taking what is not given were renounced for life, all unchastity was renounced for life, and gross possessions were renounced for life. Now, in the presence of the ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, we renounce all injury to living beings for life, we renounce all false speech for life, we renounce all taking what is not given for life, we renounce all unchastity for life, we renounce all possessions for life, we renounce all anger, pride, deceit, greed, attachment, hatred, strife, slander, backbiting, fault-finding with others, dissatisfaction and satisfaction, deceitful untruth, the thorn of wrong view, and all wrongful activity for life. We renounce all eatable, drinkable, chewable, and tasteable food—all four kinds of food—for life. > And as for this body—cherished, beloved, dear, pleasing, delightful, attached, trusted, accepted, highly regarded, approved, like a vessel of jewels—lest cold, lest heat, lest hunger, lest thirst, lest wild beasts, lest thieves, lest biting flies, lest mosquitoes, lest diverse diseases and afflictions born of wind, bile, phlegm, and their combination, and afflictions and hardships touch it, saying: 'This too with my final inhalations and exhalations I renounce,' emaciated by religious mortification, having renounced food and water, undergoing voluntary death like a felled tree, they dwelt not anticipating death." > Then those wandering mendicants skipped many meals through fasting, and having confessed, repented, and attained tranquility, they died in due time and were reborn as gods in the Brahmaloka heaven. There was their destination, there their lifespan, there their rebirth set forth. > "Venerable Sir, how long is the lifespan duration of those gods declared to be?" > "Gautama, a lifespan duration of ten sāgaropamas is declared." > "Venerable Sir, do those gods possess supernatural power, splendour, fame, strength, energy, and manly valour?" > "Yes, they do." > "Venerable Sir, are those gods accomplishers of the other world?" > "Yes, they are." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [14.8.627](https://indike.org/pramana/in.jaina.sveta.anga.5.14.8.627) bahujane ṇaṃ bhaṃte! annamannassa evamāikkhai evaṃ bhāsai evaṃ pannavei evaṃ parūvei–evaṃ khalu ammaḍe parivvāyae kaṃpillapure nagare gharasae āhāramāharei, gharasae vasahiṃ uvei| se kahameyaṃ bhaṃte? evaṃ khalu goyamā! jaṃ ṇaṃ se bahujaṇe annamannassa evamāikkhai evaṃ bhāsai evaṃ pannavei evaṃ parūvei– evaṃ khalu ammaḍe parivvāyae kaṃpillapure nagare gharasae āhāramāharei, gharasae vasahiṃ uvei, sacce ṇaṃ esamaṭṭhe ahaṃpi ṇaṃ goyamā! evamāikkhāmi evaṃ bhāsāmi evaṃ pannavemi evaṃ parūvemi–evaṃ khalu ammaḍe parivvāyae kaṃpillapure nagare gharasae āhāramāharei, gharasae vasahiṃ uvei| se keṇaṭṭheṇaṃ bhaṃte! evaṃ vuccai–ammaḍe parivvāyae kaṃpillapure nagare gharasae āhāramāharei, gharasae vasahiṃ uvei? goyamā! ammaḍassa ṇaṃ parivvāyagassa pagaibhaddayāe pagaiuvasaṃtayāe pagaipataṇukohamāna-māyālohayāe miumaddavasaṃpaṇṇayāe allīṇayāe vinīyayāe chaṭṭhaṃchaṭṭheṇaṃ anikkhitteṇaṃ tavokammeṇaṃ uḍḍhaṃ bāhāo pagijjhiya-pagijjhiya sūrābhimuhassa āyāvaṇabhūmīe āyāvemāṇassa subheṇaṃ pariṇāmeṇaṃ pasatthehiṃ ajjhavasāṇehiṃ lesāhiṃ visujjhamāṇīhiṃ annayā kayāi tadāvaraṇijjāṇaṃ kammāṇaṃ khaovasameṇaṃ īhapūha-maggaṇa-gavesaṇaṃ karemāṇassa vīriyaladdhīe veuvviyaladdhīe ohināṇaladdhī samuppaṇṇā| tae ṇaṃ se ammaḍe parivvāyae tīe vīriyaladdhīe veuvviyaladdhīe ohināṇaladdhīe samuppaṇṇāe jaṇavimhāvaṇaheuṃ kaṃpillapure nagare gharasae āhāramāharei, gharasae vasahiṃ uvei| se teṇaṭṭheṇaṃ goyamā! evaṃ vuccai–ammaḍe parivvāyae kaṃpillapure nagare gharasae āhāramāharei, gharasae vasahiṃ uvei| pahū ṇaṃ bhaṃte! ammaḍe parivvāyae devānuppiyāṇaṃ aṃtiyaṃ muṃḍe bhavittā agārāo anagāriyaṃ pavvaittae? no iṇaṭṭhe samaṭṭhe| goyamā! ammaḍe ṇaṃ parivvāyae samaṇovāsae abhigayajīvājīve uvaladdhapuṇṇapāve āsava-saṃvara-nijjara-kiriyāhigaraṇa-baṃdha-mokkhakusale asahejja devāsuranāga-suvaṇṇa-jakkha-rakkhasa-kinnara-kiṃpurisa-garula-gaṃdhavva-mahoragāiehiṃ niggaṃthāo pāvayaṇāo aṇa-ikkamaṇijje, iṇamo niggaṃthe pāvayaṇe nissaṃkie nikkaṃkhie nivvitigicche laddhaṭṭhe gahiyaṭṭhe pucchiyaṭṭhe abhigayaṭṭhe viṇicchiyaṭṭhe aṭṭhimiṃjapemāṇurāgaratte, ... ...ayamāuso! niggaṃthe pāvayaṇe aṭṭhe, ayaṃ paramaṭṭhe, sese aṇaṭṭhe, cauddasaaṭṭhamuddiṭṭhapuṇṇa- māsiṇīsu paḍipuṇṇaṃ posahaṃ aṇupālemāṇe, samaṇe niggaṃthe phāsuesaṇijjeṇaṃ asana-pāna-khāima-sāimeṇaṃ vattha-paḍiggaha-kaṃbala-pāya-pucchaṇeṇaṃ osahabhesajjeṇaṃ pāḍihārieṇaṃ pīḍhaphalaga-sejjā-saṃthāraeṇaṃ paḍilābhemāṇe sīlavvaya-guṇa-veramaṇa-paccakkhāṇa-posahovavā-sehiṃ ahāpariggahiehiṃ tavokammehiṃ appāṇaṃ bhāvemāṇe viharai jāva daḍhappaiṇṇo aṃtaṃ kāhiti| > "Venerable Sir!
