3.1.154
The second Gautama [Agnibhūti] venerates and bows down to the ascetic, the Lord Mahāvīra. Having venerated and bowed down, he approaches where the third Gautama, the homeless ascetic Vāyubhūti, is. Having approached, he speaks thus to the third Gautama, the homeless ascetic Vāyubhūti: “Indeed, Gautama, Camara, the Indra of the Asuras, the king of the Asuras, has such great supernatural power...” and all this should be understood without omission as an unasked exposition up to the end of the statement regarding the chief queens.
Then that third Gautama, the homeless ascetic Vāyubhūti, does not believe, does not trust, does not accept this matter as spoken, stated, made known, and expounded by the second Gautama, the homeless ascetic Agnibhūti. Not believing, not trusting, and not accepting this matter, he rises from his seat. Having risen, he approaches where the ascetic, the Lord Mahāvīra, is up to attending upon him, speaks thus:
“Indeed, Venerable Sir, the second Gautama, the homeless ascetic Agnibhūti, spoke, stated, made known, and expounded to me thus: ‘Indeed, Gautama, Camara, the Indra of the Asuras, the king of the Asuras, has great supernatural power up to great majesty. There, he [rules over] thirty-four hundred thousand abodes...’ and all this is to be stated without omission up to the end of the statement regarding the chief queens.
How is this so, Venerable Sir?”
“Gautama!” the ascetic, the Lord Mahāvīra, said thus to the third Gautama, the homeless ascetic Vāyubhūti: “That which the second Gautama, the homeless ascetic Agnibhūti, spoke, stated, made known, and expounded to you—‘Indeed, Gautama, Camara, the Indra of the Asuras, the king of the Asuras, has great supernatural power...’ all that up to the chief queens—that matter is true indeed. I too, Gautama, speak, state, make known, and expound thus: ‘Indeed, Gautama, Camara, the Indra of the Asuras, the king of the Asuras, has great supernatural power...’ all that up to the chief queens. That matter is true indeed.”
“So it is, Venerable Sir! So it is, Venerable Sir!”
The third Gautama, the homeless ascetic Vāyubhūti, venerates and bows down to the ascetic, the Lord Mahāvīra. Having venerated and bowed down, he approaches where the second Gautama, the homeless ascetic Agnibhūti, is. Having approached, he venerates and bows down to the second Gautama, the homeless ascetic Agnibhūti. Having venerated and bowed down, he acknowledges that matter properly and with humility asks his forgiveness again and again.
