Then the father of prince Jamāli spoke thus to that barber: “You, beloved of the gods, with utmost care, leaving four finger-widths [untouched], trim the ends of the hair of prince Jamāli, suitable for renunciation!”

Then that barber, addressed thus by the father of prince Jamāli, glad and delighted, bringing his hands together with all ten nails touching, turning [them] reverently to the head, forming an añjali over his head, respectfully received the order saying, “So be it, master!”; and having received it, he washed his hands and feet with fragrant scented water; having washed them, he covered his mouth with an eight-fold clean cloth; and having covered it, with utmost care, leaving four finger-widths [untouched], he trimmed the ends of the hair of prince Jamāli, suitable for renunciation.

Then the father of prince Jamāli spoke thus to that thousand of excellent young household youths: “You, beloved of the gods, bathed, having performed offerings, having observed auspicious protective ceremonies, wearing uniform ornaments and clothing, and assigned to the same duty, carry the palanquin of prince Jamāli!”

Then those excellent young household youths, addressed thus by the father of prince Jamāli, having listened, up to bathed, wearing uniform ornaments and clothing, and assigned to the same duty, carried the palanquin of prince Jamāli.

Then, as that prince Jamāli mounted the palanquin carried by a thousand men, first of all these eight auspicious emblems set out in order ahead of him, namely: the svastika, śrīvatsa, nandyāvarta, vardhamānaka, auspicious seat, pitcher, fish pair, and mirror. After them, full pitchers and jars, divine parasols and flags with chowries, visually attractive and splendid to behold, and raised victory-banners fluttered by the wind, touching the sky, set out in order ahead.

And after them, a pure parasol with a beryl-glowing spotless handle, adorned with hanging koraṇṭa garlands, resembling the full disc of the moon, raised high; and an excellent throne with an exquisite jewel-inlaid footstool, complete with a pair of sandals, surrounded by many servants, laborers, and foot-soldiers, set out in order ahead.

Then, as that prince Jamāli was departing through the middle of the city of Kṣatriyakuṇḍagrāma, at the junctions, triangular crossings, crossroads, squares, four-way intersections, and on the highways and avenues, many seekers of wealth, seekers of pleasure, seekers of enjoyment, seekers of gain, mendicants, bards, eulogists, conch-blowers, wheel-bearers, plough-bearers, auspicious-faced augurs, auspicious panegyrists, and groups of well-wishers, praising and extolling him unceasingly with hundreds of blessings of victory and triumph in pleasant, lovely, agreeable, charming, pleasing, heart-delighting, and melodious voices, spoke thus: “Victory, victory and joy through Dharma! Victory, victory and joy through austerity! Victory, victory and joy, may you prosper with unbroken, superior knowledge, faith, and conduct! Conquer the unconquered senses! Guard well the śramaṇa-dharma! Overcoming obstacles, O lord, abide within liberation! Smite the wrestlers of passion and hatred through austerity, your girdle firmly fastened with fortitude! Crush the eight karmic foes through supreme, pure meditation! Heedful, O steadfast one, seize the banner of practice on the stage of the three worlds! Attain the spotless, supreme, and omniscient knowledge, and proceed to mokṣa, the ultimate state, by the straight path to liberation taught by the Jinas! Slaying the army of endurances and overcoming the troubles that are the thorns of the village [of the senses], may there be no obstacle to your Dharma!”—thus praising and extolling him.

Then that prince Jamāli, watched by thousands of eyes, rejoiced over by thousands of hearts, showered with thousands of wishes, praised with thousands of speeches, sought after for his beauty and auspicious virtues, receiving thousands of folded hands with his right hand, bidding farewell with gentle, sweet words, passing by thousands of residences, departed right through the middle of the city of Kṣatriyakuṇḍagrāma; having departed, he arrived where the city of Brāhmaṇakuṇḍagrāma was, where the Bahuśāla caitya was; having arrived, he saw the supernatural attributes of the tīrthaṅkara, such as the parasol and the rest; having seen them, he stopped the palanquin carried by a thousand men, and descended from the palanquin carried by a thousand men.

Then his parents, placing that prince Jamāli in front, approached where the ascetic Lord Mahāvīra was; having approached, they circumambulated the ascetic Lord Mahāvīra three times from right to left; having done so, they praised and bowed to him; having praised and bowed, they spoke thus: “Thus indeed, Venerable Sir! Prince Jamāli is our only son, dear, beloved, pleasing, charming, delightful, reliable, trustworthy, honored, respected, approved, like a treasure-casket, a jewel, jewel-like, the life of our celebration, the joy of our heart, rare even to hear of like the blossom of the udumbara tree, what to speak of seeing him! Just as a lotus, whether blue or pink, up to thousand-petaled, born in mud and growing in water, is not smeared by mud-dust, nor smeared by water-dust, even so prince Jamāli, born amid desires and raised amid pleasures, is not smeared by the dust of desire, nor smeared by the dust of pleasure, nor smeared by friends, kinsmen, relatives, family, or servants. He, O beloved of the gods, is distressed by the fear of saṃsāra, frightened of birth and death; he desires, beloved of the gods, to become shaven in your presence and to go forth from the household into the homeless state. Therefore, we offer this alms-gift of a disciple to you, beloved of the gods; let the beloved of the gods accept this disciple-alms!”

Then the ascetic Lord Mahāvīra spoke thus to prince Jamāli: “Do as you find joyful, beloved of the gods; do not cause delay!”

Then that prince Jamāli, spoken to thus by the ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, glad and delighted, circumambulated the ascetic Lord Mahāvīra three times from right to left; having done so, he praised and bowed to him; having praised and bowed, he stepped aside toward the northeast direction; having stepped aside, he took off his garlands and ornaments with his own hands.

Then the mother of prince Jamāli received the garlands and ornaments in the fine silk garment marked with geese; having received them, shedding tears resembling necklaces, streams of water, sinduvāra flowers, or broken pearl strings, she spoke thus to prince Jamāli: “Strive, my child! Endeavor, my child! Exert yourself, my child! And in this matter, do not be indolent!” Having said so, the parents of prince Jamāli praised and bowed to the ascetic Lord Mahāvīra; having praised and bowed, they returned in the very direction from which they had come.

Then that prince Jamāli plucked out his hair himself in five fistfuls; having done so, he approached where the ascetic Lord Mahāvīra was; having approached, he circumambulated the ascetic Lord Mahāvīra three times from right to left; having done so, he praised and bowed to him; having praised and bowed, he spoke thus: “Afire, Venerable Sir, is the world! Ablaze, Venerable Sir, is the world! Afire and ablaze, Venerable Sir, is the world with old age and death!

Just as some householder, when his house is burning, takes whatever goods in it are light in weight but great in value, and having taken them, withdraws to a secluded place, [thinking:] ‘Once this is rescued by me, it will be later and earlier for my welfare, happiness, forbearance, ultimate bliss, and future benefit’;—

even so, O beloved of the gods, my own soul is a single good, dear, beloved, pleasing, charming, delightful, reliable, trustworthy, honored, respected, approved, like a treasure-casket. Lest cold, lest heat, lest hunger, lest thirst, lest thieves, lest beasts, lest biting insects, lest mosquitoes, lest various ailments and afflictions arising from wind, bile, phlegm, or combination, and afflictions and hardships touch it—once this is rescued by me, it will be for the welfare, happiness, forbearance, ultimate bliss, and future benefit of the afterlife.

Therefore I desire, O beloved of the gods, to be initiated by you yourself, to be shaven by you yourself, to be instructed by you yourself, to be taught by you yourself, and to have the Dharma concerning conduct, alms-round, discipline, courteous behavior, ascetical walk and practice, and monastic obligations explained by you yourself!”

Then the ascetic Lord Mahāvīra initiated prince Jamāli himself together with five hundred men, up to he studied the eleven Aṅgas beginning with the Sāmāyika; and having studied them, he dwelt purifying his soul with many diverse austerities such as fourth-, sixth-, eighth-, tenth-, and twelfth-[meal fasts], and half-month and month-long fasts.
