have a Vedic influence, such as cleansing based religion, bathing for physical cleansing and carrying trident and kamandal (gourd-bowl). The other part of his conduct is based on the Shramanopasak religion propagated by Bhagavan Mahavir. This includes fasting based rigorous austerities, not accepting what is not given, code of alms-seeking and following the tenets of Bhagavan Mahavir. This is an evidence of an assimilative spiritual tradition that must have acted as a bridge between the Shramanic and Vedic schools and has become extinct now. This aphorism describes in detail Ambad Parivrajak's praxis.
The aphorism mentions of Ambad Parivrajak's journey from Kampilyapur to Purimtal. This Kampilyapur was an important city of a southern Panchal area. It was the capital of king Drupad. According to Upasak Dasha Sutra it was a prosperous city. Kundakaulik Shravak resided in this very city. At present there is a village named Kampil at this location on the bank of Boodhi Ganga somewhere between Badayun and Farrukhabad in Uttar Pradesh.

83. On their way these Parivrajaks arrived in a dense forest. Near that forlorn place there was no village. In that area there was no movement of groups of traders, cows and cowherds. It was in fact a formidable trail. By the time they crossed a small area of the forest they had consumed all the supply of water they had brought along. Se
