The twenty-first chapter is named "Sarvabhutahito" after the Muni Sarvabhutahito, who possessed the knowledge of the mind's subtle workings. While traveling, he arrived in Ayodhya with his large, compassionate Sangha, who were dedicated to the welfare of all beings.
Like a father caring for his children, he rested his weary Sangha on the banks of the Sarayu River. Some of the Munis, following the instructions of the Acharya, sought solitude in dense forests, some in caves, some in empty houses, some in Jain temples, and some in the hollows of trees, all diligently engaged in their austerities.
The Acharya, desiring solitude, went to the northwest corner of the city, to a beautiful and spacious garden called Mahendrodya, entering it like an elephant with its herd. This garden, suitable for austerities, was filled with large trees and was inaccessible to animals, women, and eunuchs. It was free from hateful people and devoid of microscopic creatures.
Underneath a large Nag tree, whose branches spread far and wide, the Acharya sat on a beautiful, vast, pure, and level stone platform. He was radiant like the sun, deep, pleasing to behold, and generous of heart. He had come there to exhaust his karmas through the rainy season.
Then came the rainy season, a terrifying sight for travelers, with its flashing lightning and the thunderous roar of clouds in all directions. It seemed as if it were scolding the sun, which had been causing suffering to people, and the heavy downpour had driven away the fearsome darkness.
The earth appeared as if it had donned a fine garment, and the great rivers, carrying their waves, began to rise, eroding the banks. The travelers, experiencing tremors, were filled with confusion. Despite the torrential rain, the Jain people remained steadfast in their devotion.
