## Padma Purana, Chapter I
100. Having gone there, I heard the words of the Sadhu, the Jina. My soul, tormented by wrong views, was greatly comforted by them.
101. Wise ones, desiring the embrace of liberation, practice austerities, relying on this Dharma, having renounced all possessions.
102. I have obtained this Dharma, the great treasure of the three worlds. Those who are external to it, the other-speakers, suffer in vain.
103. The Dharma of the Muni, as it truly is, was heard by me, and I, with a pure mind, explained it to the Brahmani.
104. "See, my fate! I, who desired the fruits of poison due to delusion, have obtained the nectar of the name and form of the Arhant, even though I had no desire for it."
105. Just as a fool, having a gem in his hand, throws it away, so I, a fool, had the Sadhu in my courtyard and insulted him.
106. On that day, at the time of food, the Digambar Muni, weary from fasting, came to my house. I rejected him and looked for another Sadhu.
107. I disregarded the Arhant, whom even Indra worships, and bowed my head to the astrologers and other gods.
108. The Dharma of the Arhant, the nectar of Dharma, is pure and essential, free from violence. Due to ignorance, I have consumed the poison of wrong conduct, rejecting it.
109. Having reached the human world, I have abandoned the Dharma-jewel, tested by the Sadhus, and embraced the thorny path of attachment. What a pity!
110. I have given offerings to those who are attached to the objects of the senses, who eat as they please, day and night, who are without vows, and who are devoid of good conduct. All this has been in vain.
111. The person who, at the time of food, does not honor a guest who has arrived, according to his ability, does not give him food, etc., has no Dharma.
112. The Sadhu who has renounced festivals and occasions, who is completely free from all possessions, and who is without a home, is called a guest.
113. Those who have no food in their hands, and no possessions near them, are free from attachments, and they deliver others, those who eat from their hands and bowls.
140. They give wealth.
