(They were well aware of the rejectable, comprehensible and acceptable among these.) They did not seek help from others. They (being firm in their belief) could not be forced to waver from the Nirgranth sermon by gods, lower gods including Asur, Naag, Suparn, Yaksh, Rakshas, Kinnar, Kimpurush, Garud, Gandharva and Mahorag. Being free of any doubt, perplexity and ambiguity in the Nirgranth sermon they had received, acquired, confirmed by raising questions, absorbed and finalized the real fundamentals of religion. The affinity and attachment for religion had penetrated deep into their bone and marrow. (That is why they used to say-) 'Long lived ones ! Only this Nirgranth sermon is meaningful or beatific and everything else is meaningless or worthless.' [3] They were so liberal that in their houses inner door-bolts were always raised (Uchchhrit phaliha) or never used. In their houses doors were never closed to anyone (including alms-seekers) (Apauritadvar). Their entry to the inner (ladies) quarters of any house never offended anyone (Tyaktantahpura griha duar pravesh). This also means that they always liked the entry of noble people into their homes. They immaculately observed all vows including Sheel-vrats or shikshavrats (instructive or complimentary vows of spiritual discipline), Gunaurats (restraints that reinforce the practice of anuvrats), Viraman-vrats or Anuvrats (five minor vows), pratyakhyan (rules of renouncing) and paushadhopavas (partial ascetic vow and fasting) generally, and strictly on eighth, fourteenth and fifteenth days of every fortnight. They offered uncontaminated and acceptable food (four kinds-ashan, paan, khadya and svadya), garb, blanket, napkin, medicine, bed etc. to Shramannirgranths as required by them. Thus they spent their life enkindling (bhaavit) their souls with austerities accepted to the best of their abilities. 972afariter perfekt am 149 ARRIVAL OF SENIOR ASCETICS OF PARSHVA-SCHOOL १२. तेणं कालेणं तेणं समएणं पासावच्चिज्जा थेरा भगवंतो जातिसंपन्ना कुलसंपन्ना बलसंपन्ना रूवसंपन्ना विणयसंपन्ना णाणसंपन्ना दंसणसंपन्ना चरित्तसंपन्ना लज्जासंपन्ना लाघवसंपना ओयंसी तेयंसी वच्चंसी जसंसी जितकोहा जियमाणा जियमाया जियलोभा जियनिद्दा जितिंदिया जितपरीसहा जीवियासामरणभयविप्पमुक्का जाव कुत्तियावणभूया बहुस्सुया बहुपरिवारा, पंचहि अणगारसएहिं सद्धिं, संपरिघुडा, अहाणुपुब्बिं चरमाणा, गामाणुगामं दूइज्जमाणा, सुहंसुहेणं विहरमाणा जेणेव तुंगिया नगरी, जेणेव (292) Bhagavati Sutra (1) pade () 15555555555555555555555555555555555 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
