भगवती सूत्रम् स; ७ उ १०
Thereon Kālodāi said as follows :
-"Bhante ! If that be so, then, does it happen that one can sit, prostrate, stand, sit underneath or roll this way or that on the three formless inanimate astikāyas." - "Kalodai ! This is not correct. Only pudgalāstikāya is inanimate with form. So anyone can sit, till roll this way or that on it." - "Bhante! Does pudgalāstikāya, which, as you say, is inanimate with form, acquire sinful karma giving unwholesome outcome to living beings ?" - "No, it does not. Only the formless jivāstikāya which is animate is capable to acquire sinful karma giving unwholesome outcome to living beings.” एत्थं णं से कालोदाई संबुद्धे समणं भगवं महावीरं वंदइ णमंसइ । वंदित्ता णमंसित्ता एवं वयासी : इच्छामि णं भंते ! तुम्भं अंतियं धर्म णिसामेत्तए एवं जहा खंदए तहेव पव्वइए तहेव एक्कारस अंगाइ जाव...विहरइ ।
These words of Mahāvira enlightened Kālodāi. He paid his homage and obeisance to him and said, “Bhante ! I would like very much to hear the Law from you." Bhagavān
Mahavira fulfilled his wishes. Thereon, like Skandaka, Kālodāi joined the spiritual order of Mahāvira and devoted himself to the study of the eleven Angas.
तए णं समणे भगवं महावीरे अण्णया कयाइ रायगिहाओ णयराओ गुणसिलाओ चेइयाओ पडिणिक्खमइ पडिणिक्खमित्ता बहिया जणवयविहारं विहरइ । तेणं कालेणं तेणं समएणं रायगिहे णामं णयरे गुणसिलए चेइए होत्था। तए णं समणे भगवं महावीरे अण्णया कयाइ जाव...समोसढे। परिसा जाव... पडिगया। तए णं से कालोदाई अणगारे अण्णया कयाइ जेणेव समणे भगवं महावीरे तेणेव उवागच्छद। तेणेव उवागच्छित्ता समणं भगवं महावीर वंदइ णमसइ वंदित्ता णमंसित्ता एवं वयासी: अस्थि णं भंते ! जीवाणं पावा कम्मा पावफलविवागसंजुत्ता कति ?
