भगवती सूत्र शः ३ उः १
(Continued he in his thought :)
Now, while observing that my karnia, done in the past, and done in proper manner, is being exhausted, if I continue to overlook their exhaustion, ...till so long as I grow in silver, ...till grow more and more in affluence, ...till my friends, relations, kinsmen and subordinates obey me, accept me as their master honour me, respect me, worship me, knowing me to be the source of their bliss and welfare, the embodiment of divinity, their only refuge, I should arrange something for my own (future) well-being. So tomorrow, when the night is over, at the arrival of the dawn,...till the sun is blazing hot, I shall with my own hands, make a wooden bowl, prepare sufficient food, drink, dainties and delicacies, invite friends, relatives, kinsmen, subordinates, valets and maids and entertain them with plentiful supply of food, drink, dainties and delicacies, honour them with gifts of clothes, perfumes, wreaths and ornaments, and then instal my eldest son in charge of the household, in the presence of my friends, relatives, kinsmen, subordinates, valets and maids, and thereafter, with their permission including that of my eldest son, I pick up the wooden bowl, have my head tonsured and be initiated into an order named Prānāmā: and having been so initiated, I court a vow like this that till the end of my life, I observe two-day fasts missing six meals at a time, that I stand on an elevation to expose myself to the sun with face turned sun-ward and arms raised sky-ward, and, on the fast-breaking day, after having missed six meals, I come down from the elevation wherefrom I take exposure, and with the wooden bowl in my hand, I beg food from all households in Tāmralipti, high, middle and low, and accept only boiled rice, and wash them twentyone times in water, and then take them thus resolved he.
