Saying “Venerable Sir!”, the venerable Gautama venerated and made obeisance to the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra, and having venerated and made obeisance, spoke thus: “On other days, Venerable Sir, Śakra, the Indra of the gods, king of the gods, venerates, makes obeisance to, honors, up to attends upon the Beloved of the Gods. Why, Venerable Sir, did Śakra, the Indra of the gods, king of the gods, ask the Beloved of the Gods eight abruptly posed questions and explanations today, and having asked them, venerated and made obeisance with a hurried veneration, up to departed?”
Addressing Gautama, the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra spoke thus to the venerable Gautama: “Indeed, Gautama, at that time, in that period, in the Mahāśukra kalpa, in the Mahāsāmānya vimāna, two deities of great power, up to of great majesty, were born into godhood in a single vimāna, namely, one born deceitful with wrong view, and one born non-deceitful with right view.
Then that deity born deceitful with wrong view spoke thus to that deity born non-deceitful with right view: ‘Pudgalas that are transforming are not transformed, they are untransformed; because they are transforming, pudgalas are not transformed, they are untransformed.’
Then that deity born non-deceitful with right view spoke thus to that deity born deceitful with wrong view: ‘Pudgalas that are transforming are transformed, not untransformed; because they are transforming, pudgalas are transformed, not untransformed.’ Thus he refuted that [deity] born deceitful with wrong view. Having refuted him, he applied clairvoyance; having applied it, he perceived me with clairvoyance; having perceived [me], this inner, deliberate, cherished, mental reflection arose [in him]:
‘Indeed, the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra, staying outside the city of Ullukatīra in the Ekajambuka caitya, in the continent of Jambūdvīpa, in the region of Bhārata, having accepted a suitable lodging, abides cultivating himself through self-restraint and austerity. Therefore, it is indeed better for me to venerate the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra, up to attend upon him, and to ask [him] this kind of explanation.’ Having reflected thus, he set out to go to the continent of Jambūdvīpa, to the region of Bhārata, to the city of Ullukatīra, to the Ekajambuka caitya, to my presence, surrounded by four thousand sāmānika gods, three assemblies, seven armies, seven commanders of armies, sixteen thousand guardian gods, and many other Vaimānika gods and goddesses residing in the Mahāsāmānya vimāna, accompanied by the resonant sound of kettledrums.
Then Śakra, the Indra of the gods, king of the gods, unable to endure that deity’s divine godly power, divine godly radiance, divine godly majesty, and divine te悍leśyā, asked me eight abruptly posed questions and explanations, paid homage with a hurried veneration, up to departed.”
