I will go to him, I will pay my respects to Bhagwan Mahavira, the ascetic (I will bow, I will honor, I will respect, I will wish him well, I will wish him prosperity, I will wish him divine qualities, I will wish him knowledge). I will perform Paryupasana." Thinking thus, he bathed (performed daily rituals, performed auspicious rituals to ward off evil dreams and other negative influences), wore pure, appropriate (auspicious and excellent) clothes, adorned his body with a few precious ornaments, and accompanied by many people, he left his house. After leaving his house, he went to the center of the city of Polaspur. After reaching the city, he went to the Sahasrambavana garden, where Bhagwan Mahavira, the ascetic, was staying. After reaching there, he performed the Tikkhutto Ayahin, the Payahin (rituals of approaching and bowing). After performing these rituals, he bowed and paid his respects. After bowing and paying his respects (he stood not too close, not too far, facing Bhagwan, with folded hands, listening attentively, with humility), he performed Paryupasana.
