## The Scattering of the Rejection of the Eager
The assembly is truthful, the Mahila is a liar, a speaker of falsehood. When they said, "Go," the Mahila said, "The assembly is too eager!" ||5||
This one is a fool, with a small intellect, how could he go there?
This is a fabricated story, not spoken by the Jina! ||6||
Then those glorious ones, named Pushpamitra, also said this:
"Believe correctly, otherwise you will be outside the assembly!" ||7||
Even so, he rejected that opinion, the assembly made him completely outside the assembly.
Taking many people with him, the one who had lost his knowledge-jewel wandered on the earth! ||108||

Then, wandering on the earth, he met a yogi. He divided the wealth into two parts, and was placed on a platform and released into a well of juice. With that juice, a pot was filled, that pot was taken by the yogi, pulling the platform. Then the platform was thrown into the middle, taking that juice-pot, the yogi disappeared, there he gave a salutation to a dying man. There, for three days, he suffered hunger, with the help of a cow's tail, and then he left. While going ahead, he met his maternal uncle's son, Rudradatta, he said, "Two rams are being taken, and they are going to the Golden Island." Then he took the two rams. Then they went to the seashore. Rudradatta said, "Kill these two, and enter the furnace with the razor blades that we have taken. Then they will take out the flesh from the furnace and take it to the Golden Island. There, you will get gold." Charudatta said, "How can killing living beings be done?" Rudradatta quickly killed his own ram, while he was killing the second one, Charudatta made the ram hear the salutation, and the ram refused to eat. Then both of them entered the furnace. They were taken out of the furnace by the furnace-workers. On the way, Charudatta's furnace fell into a lake from the mouth of a bird. Then he came out, wandering from place to place, he saw a Vidya-cara-ṛṣi and stood bowing to him. The muni said, "From where have you come to this place, which is inaccessible to humans?" When he told him his suffering, the muni described the sixth vow. He accepted it. From there, a god came and bowed to Charudatta and praised him. Then, the
