## The Twenty-First Chapter
Then, the Muni (sage) approved of his disciple's actions. Filled with great fervor, Vajraबाहु renounced his clothes and ornaments. He sat down on a lotus posture, his mind filled with fervor. With hands like red petals, he plucked out his hair. At that moment, he felt his body become light, as if freed from illness. He renounced the marriage-related initiation and embraced the initiation leading to liberation.
Those who had renounced attachment, aversion, and pride, whose speed was towards fervor, and who were like beautiful, illusory beings, such as Udayasundar and the other twenty-six princes, filled with utmost enthusiasm, bowed to the Muni and took initiation.
Knowing this, Manodaya, filled with brotherly love and great fervor, also took initiation. She, whose large breasts were covered with white cloth, whose belly was thin, and whose body was covered in dust, became a great ascetic.
When Vijayasyandan, Vajraबाहु's father, heard this news, he was filled with sorrow and spoke in the middle of the assembly, "Oh, what a wonder! My grandson, still in his youth, has renounced worldly pleasures and embraced the Digambara initiation. Even I, an old man, am still bound by these pleasures that are difficult to renounce. How could this young prince abandon them? Or perhaps, he has been blessed with the fortune of liberation, and has renounced these pleasures like straw, attaining a state of peace. I, who am unfortunate, what should I do now, burdened by old age? For a long time, I have been deceived by these sinful pleasures, which seemed beautiful at first. My hair, which was once the color of indigo gems, has now turned white like a pile of straw. My eyes, which were once captivating with their white, black, and red hues, are now veiled by the dust of old age."
