Even before Śramaņa Bhagavan Mahāvīra courted the life of a house-holder, so coveted by the habits of men, he was in possession of unprecedented, unlimited and unimpeded knowledge and faith. So, with this unprecedented, unlimited and unimpeded avadhi knowledge and faith, Śramaṇa Bhagavan Mahavira perceived the time of his renunciation. On perceiving this, he gave up his silver, his gold, his wealth, his granaries, his majesty, his kingdom, his transport, his treasury, his store, his town, his seraglio and his subjects, and having given these up, and having discarded riches, gold, precious stones, jewels, pearls, conches, stones, corals, rubies and many other valuable objects, he had them distributed by donors (assistants) among indigent persons. 112
