## Sixth Study Summary
Kundakaulika, a wealthy householder, resided in Kampilya. His wife's name was Pūṣā. Kampilya was an ancient city in India. During the time of Lord Mahāvīra, it was very prosperous and famous. Today, there is still a village called Kampil on the banks of the old Ganges between Badaun and Farrukhabad in Uttar Pradesh, which historians believe is the present form of Kampilya. Kampilya is mentioned in many places in the Āgama literature and was in the kingdom of King Jitasatru, a contemporary of Lord Mahāvīra. There was a garden called Sahasrāmrāvana. It is possible that gardens were named after the number of mango trees they had.
Kundakaulika was a wealthy and happy householder. He had eighteen crore gold coins, of which six crore were kept in the treasury as secure wealth, six crore were invested in business, and six crore were used for the splendor and furnishings of his home. He had six Gokulas, each with ten thousand cows.
One day, Lord Mahāvīra arrived in Kampilya. Like others, Kundakaulika also came into the presence of the Lord, listened to the Dharmadeshanā, was impressed, and accepted the Shravaka-Dharma. His life, which was previously filled with worldly desires, now included spirituality. Kundakaulika lived the life of a good religious householder, diligently following the accepted vows.
One day, in the afternoon, he went to the Aśoka grove with a devotional spirit. He took off his ring and upper garment and placed them on a stone slab, and himself became absorbed in meditation. To distract his devotion, a deva appeared there. To divert his attention, the deva picked up the ring and shawl and ascended into the sky. The deva said to Kundakaulika, "Look, the Dharma-principles of Mankhaliputra Goshalak are very beautiful. There is no importance of effort, endeavor, or karma there. Whatever is going to happen is fixed. The religious principles of Lord Mahāvīra are not good. There, effort, endeavor, and endeavor are all accepted, and whatever happens is not fixed according to them. Now you see the difference between the two yourself. According to Goshalak's principles, whatever effort, endeavor, etc. is done is all useless, there is no need to do it. Because in the end, what is going to happen will happen."
