There is no nature, effect, or feeling in it. What is sky is sky, the moon is not the sun. If there is no arising of activity by the mind, what does the deity contemplated say? If the living being does not take the pudgalas that create the karma-dala of good and bad, then why does the thread of the garment of women who see the beloved break? You said that the influx does not happen, then who knew and counted the influx? The word "ghat" does not create intelligence in the bull (i.e., the bull does not understand the meaning of the word "ghat"). Even a child knows this.

Both the disputants attained detachment. They did heavy devotion and bowed to the Guru. Just as the inertia of lotuses goes away when the sun rises, in the same way, the feeling of inertia does not remain in those who listen to and believe the words of the Muni. Both of them, considering the world as a friend of welfare, became detached. And they took initiation from the same Trilok Diwakar Matisagar Muni. They performed severe austerities named Achaml, Vardhaman, and Sudarshan. Both opposed evil deeds and regulated their own welfare, and both destroyed it. By renouncing the four types of food mentioned in the Agamas and with excellent vision, they attained death and became Indra and Pratindra in Shukra heaven. At the end of their time, they destroyed their own light of the head and resided there for sixteen oceans, in the Dhaatki Khand island, in the west direction of the white western Sumeru, like a baby moon, in the west Videha, there is a land called Pushkalavati, which gives happiness to the people.
