being the first discourse of Bhagavan Mahavir was a failure in context of spiritual gains as none of those present took any vow.
From the bank of Rijubaluka river Mahavir came to Madhyam Pava. A divine pavilion was created in the Mahasen jungle.
During that month of Vaishakh Som Sharma had organized a great Yajna. Eleven famous and great scholars with their 4400 disciples had come to participate in this Yajna. Thousands of people from far and near were arriving to behold the pious flames of the Yajna. Thus, Madhyam Pava had become a place of pilgrimage.
On hearing of the sudden arrival of Bhagavan Mahavir, Pandit Som Sharma became worried and disturbed due to the anti Yajna attitude of the Shraman culture. He went to the chief guide of the Yajna, Mahapandit Indrabhuti. They all confabulated but were short of ideas. Indrabhuti finally said, "Shraman Vardhaman is certainly a person to reckon with. He has the power of spiritual practice and fire of penance but still in knowledge he will prove to be no match for us. With our unmatched power of knowledge we should be able to defeat him now and subjugate a rising adversary in time. We need not worry. It is probable that this pious day may turn out to be the day of our ultimate victory."
This hope filled assurance from Mahapandit Indrabhuti made all the other scholars happy. Som Sharma started dreaming of the victory of the Brahman Yajna organization. Indrabhuti with his 500 disciples proceeded to confront Mahavir.

Indrabhuti and the Self
Indrabhuti's mind got a shock the moment he put his first step inside the divine pavilion. His mind got agitated. From the distance he saw the astonishing glow on the face of Shraman Mahavir. When the powerful sun rays fall on the Himalayan ice caps the ice starts melting. Similarly Indrabhuti's ego started melting. He felt as if streams of doubt and uncertainty had started emerging and flowing.
"Indrabhuti Gautam ! You have arrived ?"
The deep resonant voice of Prabhu Mahavir fell on Indrabhuti's ears the moment he entered the third gate of the assembly. "Mahavir recognizes me !" Indrabhuti was astonished; he thought, "Of course, he must have heard of me, the world famous scholar." (M-28/1)
"Indrabhuti Gautam, although you are a great scholar of Vedas, you are still doubtful of the existence of soul.” When these words in the imposing voice of Mahavir echoed in the ears of Indrabhuti he was stunned. Start Hert: manit auf
