## First Study: The Story of Anand

[21]

Like this, the Lord went out to see and worship the Lord [He came to the Duitipalasa Caitya]. Arriving, he stopped at a suitable place, neither too far nor too close to the Lord. Seeing the umbrellas and other extraordinary things of the Tirthankaras, he stopped his chief elephant, dismounted, and removed his sword, umbrella, crown, and fly whisk, the royal insignia. He removed his shoes and went to where the Lord Mahavira was. Arriving, he performed the five practices: the separation of pure substances, the non-separation of impure and non-living substances, the wearing of an unbroken, unsewn garment like a Uttariya on his shoulder, the joining of his hands upon seeing the Dharma-Nayaka, and the concentration of his mind. Following these five practices, King Jitasatru went before the Lord. He circumambulated the Lord three times to the right, bowed, and prostrated. After bowing and prostrating, he performed physical, verbal, and mental worship. As physical worship, he sat with his hands and feet contracted, his face turned towards the Lord, listening attentively, and with joined hands in humility. As verbal worship, he spoke words of agreement, saying, "Yes, Bhagavan! This is the truth, Bhagavan! This is the truth, Prabhu! This is without doubt, Swami! This is desired, Bhagavan! This is accepted, Prabhu! This is desired, Bhagavan! As you say!" As mental worship, he generated intense devotion and a strong desire for liberation within himself.

**Anand's Worship**

10. Then Anand, the story-teller, said, "Like this, the Samana [Mahavira] went out, walking from village to village, staying here and there, in this town, in this village, or outside the town of the merchants, in the Duitipalasa Caitya. He stayed there, controlling himself with restraint and mindfulness. He thought to himself, 'Oh, Lord! Beloved of the Gods! For the sake of hearing the name of the Arhats, the Bhagavans, what to speak of approaching, bowing, prostrating, asking questions, and staying with them! For the sake of hearing one single righteous, virtuous, and good word, what to speak of grasping the vast meaning! I will go, Lord! I will go to see the Samana, the Bhagavan Mahavira. I will bow to him, prostrate to him, honor him, respect him, and stay with him for the sake of good fortune and auspiciousness.'

Thus, he resolved. Having resolved, he looked around, put on his pure white clothes, adorned himself with auspicious ornaments, and, wearing his fine garments and adorned with beautiful jewelry, he left his house. Having left, he rode in a chariot drawn by strong, powerful horses, with an umbrella held over him, and surrounded by a group of men. He went through the town of the merchants, and, having gone through, he went to the Duitipalasa Caitya, where the Samana, the Bhagavan Mahavira, was. Arriving, he performed the three prostrations.
