## The Scattering of the Eager Rejection
That Kavi, overwhelmed by the assembly, as if he were greatly burdened by a heavy load, as if he were being urged to do something by a previous vow, as if he were being greatly pressured by a powerful desire, did not accept the Samana Dharma, even in his mind. Then, thinking with a troubled mind, he thought: "This Jain Dharma does not suit me. I have a need for a job, for traveling to other villages, for bodily adornment, for the enjoyment of sensual pleasures, and for a companion. Therefore, I will reject this." Thinking thus, the Kavi was caught in the net of desire, and he learned some kind of false doctrine, a false understanding of the nature of things. And so, he, adorned with a dyed garment and a garland of flowers, with a staff in his hand, became a wanderer, going from village to village, seeking a lover, or a god, or a master, or a great teacher, or a place where he could kill animals, or a place where he could earn a living, or a place where he could indulge in sensual pleasures. And so, in time, while he was speaking, the Tirthankara, who had protected all beings for eighty-four hundred thousand years, who had never been defeated, who had always walked the path of righteousness, who had spent countless kalpas in the Brahma-loka, who had become a god, heard him.
That Kavi, who was not a true seeker of the highest good, who was attached to false doctrines, who was a follower of the path of desire, who was a seeker of worldly pleasures, who was a follower of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding, who was a seeker of the path of false understanding
