इस प्रकार गुरुके वचन सुन वह, सुव्रत गणिनीके साथ चली आयी और समस्त बन्धु जनों का त्यागकर उसने सफेद साड़ीसे स्तनोंको ढक तथा काले केशोंको उखाड़कर आर्थिक का व्रत धारण कर लिया || २१ || जिसने आभूषण और मालाएँ उतारकर फेंक दी थीं तथा जिसकी बाहुरूपी लताएँ फूलोंके समान कोमल थीं ऐसी वह कन्या उस समय अपने हाथकी कोमल अंगुलियों अपने बँधे हुए समस्त बालोंको उखाड़ती हुई ऐसी जान पड़ती थी मानो बुद्धिरूपी कुटीके भीतर विद्यमान शल्यों के समूहको ही उखाड़ रही हो ॥ २२॥ जघन, वक्षःस्थल, स्तन, उदर और चरणोंपर्यन्त समस्त शरीरको एक अत्यन्त कोमल वस्त्रसे आच्छादित करती हुई वह सती उस समय चिरकाल तक शरद् ऋतुकी उस नदी के समान सुशोभित हो रही थी जिसने स्वच्छ जलसे अपने बालुमय स्थलको ढक रखा था ||२३|| कुटुम्बी-जनोंने जिसकी दीक्षा-कालीन पूजा की थी और जो बड़े-बड़े तपोंको जन्म देनेवाली थी ऐसी उस नव दीक्षिता आर्यिकाको देखकर उस समय समस्त महाजनोंके हृदय में यही बुद्धि उत्पन्न होती थी कि क्या यह धैर्यंसहित सरस्वती है। अथवा रति तपस्या कर रही है ||२४|| व्रत, गुण, संयम तथा उपवास आदि तपों एवं प्रतिदिन भायी जानेवाली अनित्य आदि भावनाओंसे जो विशुद्ध भावोंको प्राप्त हुई थी, जो आगमोक्त अनेक पाठोंकी वसतिका थी, उत्तमोत्तम गुणोंसे सहित थी, और सदा आर्यिकाओंके समूहके साथ निवास करती थी ऐसी वह आर्यिका तपस्या करती हुई रहती थी ||२५||
तदनन्तर बहुत वर्षों और दिनोंके समूह व्यतीत हो जानेपर वह जिनेन्द्र भगवान् के जन्म, दीक्षा और निर्वाण कल्याणक की भूमियोंमें विहार कर किसी समय बहुत बड़े संघकी प्रेरणा से अपनी सहधर्मिणियोंके साथ विन्ध्याचलके विशाल वनमें जा निकली ||२६|| और रात्रिके

Harivamsha Purana
For those who are engaged in the destruction of others, their own welfare is always to be sought, even by the lords. For the lords of those who are engaged in the cycle of birth and death, their own created arms do not always remain in power. ||20||
Hearing these words of the guru, she bowed down and proceeded with the great work.
Having renounced the world and all her relatives, she took the vow of renunciation, covering her breasts with a white sari and pulling out her black hair. ||21||
She had thrown away her ornaments and garlands, and her arms, like vines, were as soft as flowers. At that time, she was pulling out all her hair with her soft fingers, as if she were pulling out a group of thorns from the inside of a wisdom-filled hut. ||22||
She covered her entire body, from her hips, chest, breasts, abdomen, and feet, with a very soft garment. That chaste woman was then adorned for a long time like the river of the autumn season, which had covered its sandy banks with clear water. ||23||

She was endowed with pure emotions, having attained them through the austerities of vows, virtues, restraint, and fasting, and through the contemplation of impermanence and other such things that she practiced daily. She was a resident of the teachings of the Agamas, possessed many excellent qualities, and always lived with the group of renunciants. She continued to practice austerities. ||25||
After many years and groups of days had passed, she went to the lands of the birth, initiation, and nirvana of the Jina, and then, at the inspiration of a very large assembly, she went with her fellow renunciants to the vast forest of Vindhyachal. ||26|| And at night,
