17. At that time a large number of people were moving around at public places like triangular courtyards (singhatak ), crossings of three, four and more paths and on highways in Shravasti city. They were talking among themselves-Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir has arrived in Chhatrapalashak garden outside Kritangala city. People went out to pay homage to Bhagavan Mahavir.
Listening from people about the arrival of Bhagavan Mahavir, that Parivrajak Skandak of Katyayan clan had an ausciety (adhyavasaya), thought (chintan), desire (abhilasha) and resolve (sankalp) as follows— 'Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir is staying in Chhatrapalashak garden outside Kritangala city enkindling (bhaavit) his soul with asceticdiscipline and austerities. Therefore, I should go to him and pay my homage and obeisance. It would be beneficial for me that, after paying him homage and obeisance, after honouring and respecting him, I should worship him, who is the embodiment of beatitude, piety, who is the god of gods and pilgrimage personified. Having done that I should ask him all such meanings (arth), causes (hetu), questions (prashna), reasons (haaran) and elaborations (uyakhya) etc.
With these thoughts he came to the abode of Parivrajaks. From there he collected all the traditional paraphernalia of his holy order including—Tridand (trident ), Kundi (bowl), Kanchanika ( garland of Rudraksh), Karotika (earthen pot ), Bhrishika (mattress ), Kesarika (a piece of cloth for cleaning pots), Trigadi or Chhannalika (a wooden instrument), Ankush (a lancet to cut leaves), Pavitri (copper ring), Ganetrika (wrist band), Chhatra ( umbrella), Upanah ( shoes), Paduka (wooden sandals) and saffron coloured dress and came out of that abode
