At that time, in that period, Śakra, the king of gods, the lord of gods, thunderbolt in hand, destroyer of strongholds […] up to while enjoying divine pleasures, was abiding [there]. And contemplating this entire Jambūdvīpa island with his expansive clairvoyant knowledge, he beheld the Śramaṇa, the Blessed Mahāvīra, right here in Jambūdvīpa island. Thus, just as Īśāna [was described] in the third śataka, so also Śakra, with the only difference: he did not summon the ābhiyogika gods; Hari (Hariṇaigameṣin) was the commander of the infantry; Sughoṣā was the bell; Pālaka was the builder of the celestial vehicle; Pālaka was the celestial vehicle; the northern direction was the exit route; the southeastern direction was the Ratikara mountain; the rest is just the same up to having made known his name, he reverently attended upon him. The sermon on Dharma […] up to the assembly departed.
Then that Śakra, the king of gods, the lord of gods, having heard and grasped the Dharma in the presence of the Śramaṇa, the Blessed Mahāvīra, delighted and satisfied, venerated and paid obeisance to the Śramaṇa, the Blessed Mahāvīra. Having venerated and paid obeisance, he spoke thus: "Of how many kinds, Venerable Sir, has permission to occupy ground (avagraha) been proclaimed?"
"Śakra! Avagraha has been proclaimed to be of five kinds, namely: divine avagraha (deva-indra-avagraha), royal avagraha (rāja-avagraha), householder's avagraha (gāthāpati-avagraha), co-dweller's avagraha (sāgārika-avagraha), and coreligionist's avagraha (sādharmika-avagraha)."
"Those Śramaṇa Nirgranthas who are currently wandering today—to them I grant this avagraha!" So saying, he venerated and paid obeisance to the Śramaṇa, the Blessed Mahāvīra. Having venerated and paid obeisance, he boarded that very divine aerial car, and having boarded, departed in the very direction from which he had appeared.
"Venerable Sir!" The venerable Gautama venerated and paid obeisance to the Śramaṇa, the Blessed Mahāvīra. Having venerated and paid obeisance, he spoke thus: "Regarding that which Śakra, the king of gods, the lord of gods, said to you, Venerable Sir: is this matter true?"
"Yes, it is true."
