In the Mahapurana, the Uttara Purana, abandon that delusion, even Bhavadeva followed suit. He was persuaded by his elder brother and thus he decided to take initiation. ||12|| Leading him to the presence of his guru, Bhagadatta, to cut off his worldly attachments, he initiated him into the path of liberation. This is how the brotherhood of the righteous is. ||13|| Having become a dravya-samyami, he spent twelve years with his gurus. Then, accompanied by other ascetics, he went alone to his birthplace, Vridhaprama. He went to the Ganini, Suvrata, and asked, "Mother, is there a Nagashri in this city?" ||14-15|| Understanding his intention, the Ganini replied, "O Muni, I do not know her story well." Thus, feigning indifference, the Ganini, to stabilize the dravya-lingi muni in his vows, began to tell him the following story from another Aryika, Gunavati. ||16-17|| She said, "There was a Vaishya named Sarvasamruddha. He had a son, Daruka, who was pure of heart. One day, his mother said to him, 'Eat the leftovers from our Seth.' Thus, she forced him to eat the leftover food. He ate it, but feeling disgusted, he vomited it all up. His mother took all the vomit in a bronze plate. When Daruka became hungry and asked his mother for food, she placed the same vomit in front of him. Though Daruka was suffering from hunger, he did not eat his own vomit. If even the son of a slave did not eat his own vomit, how can a muni desire what he has abandoned?" ||18-21|| "Now I will tell you another story. Listen with a steady mind," said the Ganini, beginning another story. She said, "There was a king named Narapala. Out of curiosity, he kept a dog. He always fed it with sweet food and adorned it with golden ornaments. When he went out for forest excursions and other activities, he would carry the dog in a golden palanquin, being a fool. One day, while sitting in the palanquin, the low-born dog saw the excrement of a child. Seeing it, he jumped on it, desiring to obtain it. Seeing this, the king beat him with a stick and drove him away." ||22-25|| Similarly, the muni, who is worthy of worship by all, by abandoning his desires, again faces defeat. ||26||
