Uvavaiya Suttam Sh. 36
.. "Bhante ! You have expressed the tenets of the Nirgranthas in a nice way. You have explained them in an especially impressive way, in beautiful vocabulary, with due humility, in a manner well-thought and unprecedented. Bhante ! Verily do they remove all ties. While delineating the Law, you have spoken at length on the tranquilisation of passions. In explaining the tranquilisation of passions, you have analysed the awakened conscience. In analysing the awakened conscience, you have narrated the process of concentrating into one's own self. In narrating the process of concentration, you have emphasized on the need to prevent the degeneration of the soul into an inferior (sinful ) state. . Bhante !. There is no other Sramana or Māhana who can expound religion in such an exquisite manner, what to speak of excelling you." So saying, people went back in the direction from which they came. 35 ,

उसके बाद भंभसार का पुत्र राजा कूणिक श्रमण भगवान् महावीर के समीप धर्म का श्रवण कर, हृदय में धारण कर हर्षित एवं परितुष्ट हुआ [... यावत् हृदय आनन्दित हुआ। वह अपने स्थान से उठ खड़ा हुआ। उठ कर श्रमण भगवान् महावीर को तीन बार आदक्षिणा-प्रदक्षिणा की।
