This year, the Jain ascetic, adorned with a beautiful garland, is walking along the path, his body covered in dust. He is wearing a simple loincloth, a necklace of beads, a bracelet, and a ring. He is surrounded by a group of people who are offering him gifts. Some are offering him food, others are offering him clothes, and still others are offering him money. The ascetic accepts all of these gifts with grace and humility. He is not attached to any of them, for he knows that they are all impermanent. He is only interested in the spiritual path, and he is determined to reach liberation.
The people who are offering him gifts are not all Jains. Some of them are Hindus, some are Buddhists, and some are even non-believers. But they all recognize the ascetic's spiritual power and they all want to show him their respect.
The ascetic is a symbol of the Jain ideal of non-violence and detachment. He is a reminder that we should all strive to live a simple life, free from the attachments of the world. He is a beacon of hope for all who are seeking liberation.

आर्यों ने उन्हें बुलवाना चाहा परन्तु स्वामी तब भी नहीं बोलते। घर से अपने चित्त को हटानेवाले वह धरतीतल पर विहार करते हैं।
घत्ता-चर्यामार्ग में प्रवृत्त जब वह (आहार के लिए) घूमते हैं तभी राजा श्रेयांस ने हस्तिनापुर में स्वप्न देखा॥२॥
चन्दन, भाजन-भोजन, सुरभित चावल, भिंगारकों में उत्तम जलों को अपने सिरों पर लेकर, रास्ते में खड़े होकर स्वामी को उक्त चीजें देते हैं, वे अज्ञानी नहीं जानते । दूसरे प्रशस्त देवांग वस्त्र, कटिसूत्र, केयूर, मणिहार, मंजीर, कंगन, कुण्डल, (मानो सूर्यमण्डल हों) पाप से रहित देव के लिए लाते हैं, दूसरे लोग कुलीन कृशोदरी (मध्य में क्षीण), लावण्य से परिपूर्ण कन्याओं को भेंट में देते हैं, नर-रथ-तुरंग और गजों के समूह, पैने प्रहरण, उपवन, नगर, वाद्यों से युक्त चमर और आतपत्र (छत्र), चन्द्रमा और शंखों के समान सफेद ध्वज और प्रासाद दूसरे देते हैं, और दूसरे देते हैं, "कामदेवरूपी मृग के आखेटक, ज्ञानरूपी जल के प्रवाह, तरुण सूर्य के समान आभावाले, हे तपश्री के स्वामी, हे देवदेवेश, हे परम-परमेश, दिगम्बर वेष अपने शरीर के शोषण से क्या होगा, क्यों नहीं बताते। न हँसते हो न रमण करते हो।" यह कहकर चाटुकर्म से सज्जित
पलंग पर सोते हुए, अपने नेत्र मलते हुए, रात्रि के अन्तिम प्रहर में सोमप्रभ के अनुज श्रेयांस ने स्वप्न देखा-चन्द्र-सूर्य-महागज सरोवर-समुद्र-कल्पवृक्ष, बल से उत्कट सिंह, अपने बाहुओं से युद्ध को जीतनेवाला, शत्रु का छेदन करनेवाला, भार उठाने में समर्थ कन्धोंवाला,
