भगवती सूत्र शः ३ उ: २
समोसढे इह संपत्ते इहेव अज्ज उवसंपज्जित्ता णं विहरामि । तं गच्छामो णं देवाणुप्पिया ! समणं भगवं महावीरं वंदामो णमंसामो जाव... पज्जुवा - सामो ।

Thereafter, Camara, the Indra of the Asuras, their king, being assured of safety from the thunderbolt, deeply humiliated by Sakra, the Indra of the gods, their king, was seated in deep sorrow on his throne named Camara in the Sudharma Hall at metropolis Camaracañcã, with his mental resolve shattered to pieces, engrossed in deep grief and shock, with his face covered with his palms, immersed in the meditation of the distressed, with his eyes downcast. Then on seeing Camara, the Indra of the Asuras, their king, with his mental resolve shattered, till with his eyes downcast, the Sāmānika gods, with their folded palms, made the following submission:
Oh beloved of the gods! What thoughts thou art engrossed in with this meditation of the distressed ?
Thereon, Camara, the Indra of the Asuras, their king, gave the following reply to the Sāmānika gods:
Oh beloved of the gods! Having invoked the support of Śramaņa Bhagavān Mahāvīra, I had thought to deprive Sakra, the Indra of the gods, their king, of his grandeur by my single-handed effort. Thereon he was enraged and he hurled his thunderbolt at me in order to kill me. But it was by the grace of Śramana Bhagavan Mahāvīra that I could remain unhurt and escape pain, and I did not receive any wound; (and it was by dint of his grace, again,) I have been able to withdraw, to return, to arrive here back, and to resume my seat. So, oh beloved of the gods! Let us all go, and pay homage and obeisance to Sramana Bhagavān Mahāvira, till worship him..
