That he had a thought like this in his mind, "Śramaņa Bhagavan Mahāvīra who is the re-giver of the spiritual tenets, reformer of the church order till all-knowing, all-seeing, whose movement is followed by the spiritual wheel in the sky, is at this moment camped, with a suitable mental resolve, in the park named Sahasrāmra. When the hearing of the name and the line of such a great person is the giver of a great merit, the merit acquired in going before him, in paying him homage and obeisance, all as stated in the Aupapātika Sūtra, must be immensely more, till when a single spiritual word heard from him is a giver of great merit, then what to speak of the outcome of hearing his whole sermon. Hence it is necessary that I go to Śramana Bhagavan Mahāvīra, pay homage and obeisance to him, till worship him. This will surely do me good not only in this life but in the life ahead."
