At that time, in that period, there was a city named Rājagṛha. There was the Guṇaśīla caitya—description, down to the slab of rock. In the close vicinity of that Guṇaśīla caitya, many adherents of other doctrines resided. Then the ascetic, the Lord Mahāvīra, arrived, down to the assembly dispersed.
At that time, in that period, the eldest disciple of the ascetic, the Lord Mahāvīra, the homeless ascetic named Indrabhūti, up to sitting with knees raised, head lowered, absorbed in meditation, dwelt cultivating himself through self-restraint and austerity.
Then those adherents of other doctrines approached the Lord Gautama; having approached, they spoke thus to the Lord Gautama: "Are you, Venerables, in three ways by three modes, unrestrained, unrenounced, without having checked and renounced evil deeds, active, unrestrained, exclusively violent, and exclusively foolish?"
Then the Lord Gautama spoke thus to those adherents of other doctrines: "For what reason, Venerables, would we be, in three ways by three modes, unrestrained, down to exclusively foolish?"
Then those adherents of other doctrines spoke thus to the Lord Gautama: "You, Venerables, while walking, step on living beings, strike them down, and destroy them. Therefore, you, stepping on living beings and destroying them, are in three ways by three modes, down to exclusively foolish."
Then the Lord Gautama spoke thus to those adherents of other doctrines: "Indeed not, Venerables! We do not, while walking, step on living beings, down to destroy them. We, Venerables, while walking, relying on the body, intention, and movement, walk carefully looking and re-looking in every direction. Thus, walking while looking and re-looking in every direction, we do not step on living beings, down to nor do we destroy them. Therefore, not stepping on living beings, down to not destroying them, we are in three ways by three modes, down to exclusively wise. You, Venerables, are yourselves in three ways by three modes, down to exclusively foolish."
Then those adherents of other doctrines spoke thus to the Lord Gautama: "For what reason, Venerables, are we in three ways by three modes, down to exclusively foolish?"
Then the Lord Gautama spoke thus to those adherents of other doctrines: "You, Venerables, while walking, step on living beings, down to destroy them. Therefore, stepping on living beings, down to destroying them, you are in three ways by three modes, down to exclusively foolish."
Then the Lord Gautama thus answered those adherents of other doctrines; having answered, he approached the ascetic, the Lord Mahāvīra; having approached, he paid homage and bowed down to the ascetic, the Lord Mahāvīra; having paid homage and bowed down, neither too close nor too far, down to he attended upon him.
Addressing him as Gautama, the ascetic, the Lord Mahāvīra spoke thus to the Lord Gautama: "Well said, Gautama, did you speak to those adherents of other doctrines! Excellently, Gautama, did you speak to those adherents of other doctrines! Gautama, I have many disciples who are non-omniscient śramaṇa Nirgranthas, who are not capable of giving such an answer as you did. Therefore, well said, Gautama, did you speak to those adherents of other doctrines! Excellently, Gautama, did you speak to those adherents of other doctrines!"
Then the Lord Gautama, addressed in this way by the ascetic, the Lord Mahāvīra, became joyous and pleased, paid homage and bowed down to the ascetic, the Lord Mahāvīra; having paid homage and bowed down, he spoke thus:—
