भगवती सूत्र: शः ३ उ: २
place and moving from village to village, I came near a slab of stone under an excellent aśoka tree in a forest strip named Aśoka of the city of Sumsumarapura. Having arrived there, beneath that excellent aśoka tree, on the stone slab, I courted fasts missing six meals at a time, and then having contracted both my legs, with hands hanging downward, with my vision fixed on a single object, with eyes without a wink, with the upper half of the body slightly bent, and having controlled all my sense organs I courted mahāpratimă for a night and went into meditation.

In that period, at that time, metropolis Camaracañcā was without an Indra, without a Priest. The aforesaid heretical monk Purana, having spent 12 years in the order of monks, enriched his soul by a month-long fast mssing in all sixty meals, and passed away, and was born as Indra in the Hall of Genesis in metropolis Camaracañcā.
