From there he proceeded first towards southern Vācāla and thereafter towards northern Vācāla where in the way he abandoned his divine cloth.⁴⁷ Thus he wore one garment only for a year and a month and wandered about naked afterwards.⁴⁸ He was stung by a venomous serpent called Caṇḍakosiya near a hermitage known as Kaṇagakhala.⁴⁹ He broke his fifteen days' fast at the house of merchant Nāgasena belonging to northern Vācāla.⁵⁰ Thereafter Mahāvīra went to Seyaviyā. From there he went to Surabhipura. Thereafter he reached the Thuṇāga settlement after crossing river Gaṅgā by boat. Then he came to Nālandā a suburb of Rāyagiha. There he spent his rainy season in a weaver's shed⁵¹ and broke his one month's fast at the house of merchant Vijaya(6) of Rāyagiha.⁵² On observing five extra-ordinary occurrences appearing thereby at that place Gosāla approached the venerable ascetic and made a request to admit him as his disciple. Mahāvīra did not entertain his request. The venerable ascetic had his second month's \*pāraṇā\* at the house of Ānaṃda(3) and that of the third month at the house of Sūpaṃda(5). At the end of the rainy season Mahāvīra left for the Kollāya (2) settlement and broke his four month's fast at the house of Brāhmaṇa Bahula(4). Gosāla, too, went there and again requested Mahāvīra to take him as his disciple. This time his request was accepted and both the venerable ascetic and Gosāla lived together for a considerable period.⁵³ - [Previous: v2.c8.s2.661](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mehta-chandra-1970.v2.c8.s2.661) - [Next: v2.c8.s2.663](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mehta-chandra-1970.v2.c8.s2.663) - [Up: v2.c8.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mehta-chandra-1970.v2.c8.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mehta-chandra-1970.v2.c8.s2.662](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mehta-chandra-1970.v2.c8.s2.662) · Pramāṇa
