2.1.116

Then the homeless ascetic Khaṃdaka, having obtained the permission of the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra, became joyous, glad, rejoiced, delighted, pleased in mind, in supreme good spirits, his heart expanding with joy. He rose from his seat; having risen, he circumambulated the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra, three times from left to right; having done so, he paid homage and bowed down; having paid homage and bowed down, he undertook the five great vows by himself; having undertaken them, he asked forgiveness of the monks and nuns; having asked forgiveness, he slowly, slowly ascended Mount Vipula together with such suitable elders; having ascended, he inspected a slab of ground stone resembling a dense cloud, a gathering-place of the gods; having inspected it, he inspected the ground for excretion and urination; having inspected it, he spread out a couch of darbha grass; having spread it out, he sat cross-legged facing east, joined his hands palm to palm with the ten fingernails brought together, placed the añjali to his head, and spoke thus:
“Praise be to the Arhats, the Lords […] who have attained the station named the state of perfection!
Praise be to the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra […] who desires to attain the station named the state of perfection!
I, being here, revere the Lord who is there; may the Lord who is there look upon me who am here!” Having said this, he paid homage and bowed down; having paid homage and bowed down, he spoke thus: “Previously too, in the presence of the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra, I renounced all killing of living beings for the rest of my life […] up to the dart of false belief I renounced for the rest of my life.
And now too, in the presence of the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra, I renounce all killing of living beings for the rest of my life […] up to the dart of false belief I renounce for the rest of my life. I renounce all four kinds of nourishment—eatable, drinkable, chewable, and relishable—for the rest of my life. And this body, desirable, lovely, agreeable […] lest diverse illnesses, ailments, afflictions, and hardships born of wind, bile, phlegm, and their combination touch it—having considered this, I renounce this too with my final inhalations and exhalations!” Having said so, emaciated by the mortification of saṃlekhanā, having rejected food and drink, entered upon the tree-posture fast unto death, he dwelt without longing for the time [of death].
Then the homeless ascetic Khaṃdaka, having studied the eleven Aṅgas beginning with the Sāmāyika in the presence of such suitable elders of the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra, having fulfilled a full twelve years of the course of a monk, having emaciated himself through a one-month saṃlekhanā, having cut off sixty meals through fasting, having confessed and repented, having attained spiritual tranquility, died in due course.
