The seventy-second chapter
Now, the wise Baladev, desiring to reveal the three worlds and their previous existence, questioned the connection between Pradyumna and Sambhava. Then, the Ganadhar Varadatta, out of compassion, spoke as follows:
In this Jambudvipa, in the region of Magadha, there lived a Brahmin named Somadeva, whose wife was named Agnilakshya. They had two sons, Agnibhuti and Vayubhuti, who one day went to the beautiful village of Nandivardhan. There, they saw the Muni Nandivardhan, who was the ornament of the Muni Sangha, in the forest of Nandighosha.
Seeing these two wicked ones, the Muni-lord told the other Munis, "These two, tainted by Mithyatva (false belief), have come to create dissension. None of you should engage in conversation with them, otherwise a great calamity will befall you."
Hearing the words of the guiding teacher, all the Munis, observing the vow of silence, remained steadfast. Seeing the silence of all, the two Brahmins, mocking, went towards their village. On the way, they encountered the Muni Satyaka, who had gone to another village for alms. Impelled by arrogance, they approached him and said, "O naked one! There is no attained one, no scripture, and no substance at all. Why do you, a fool, needlessly suffer on this wrong path, seeing the destruction (of the real)?"
The Muni, taking recourse to the supreme Syadvada propounded by the words of the Jina, and establishing the validity of the knower, explained the substance of the categories along with their causes. He also elucidated the appropriate position of the scriptural teachings regarding the unseen realities, and thus removed the itch for debate of those wicked Brahmins.
