v1.c18.32

Just like the mother of Buddha, the princess Triçalā had auspicious dreams in the very night of conception; and the interpreters foretold that the child would become either a universal monarch or a prophet possessing all-comprising knowledge. So the boy, whose birth was celebrated alike by gods and men, was received by his parents with the most lofty expectations, and was educated to the highest perfection in all branches of knowledge and art. In due time he was married to a lady, named Yaçodā, and had by her a daughter, who became the wife of Jamāli, a future disciple of his father-in-law, and the propagator of the first schism in the Jain church. However, Mahāvīra's mind was not turned towards secular things; and in his thirtieth year, after the decease of his parents, he left his home with the permission of his elder brother, Nandivardhana, and set out for the life of a homeless monk.
