था। वे आत्मिक दीप्ति से देदीप्यमान थे ।
इस सूत्र में 'उभडघडमुहे त्ति' पद की व्याख्या वृत्तिकार ने इस प्रकार की है— 'उद्भटं - विकरालं, क्षीणप्रायदशानच्छदत्वाद् घटकस्येव मुखं यस्य स तथा।' इस कथन से मुख पर मुख- पत्ती बंधी हुई सिद्ध नहीं होती ? ऐसी शंका उपस्थित होती है। समाधान यह है कि यहाँ पर सूत्रकार का तात्पर्य केवल तप के कारण क्षीण शरीर के वर्णन से ही है, धर्मोपकरणों के वर्णन से नहीं । यदि वे शरीर सम्बन्धी अन्य धर्मोपकरणों का वर्णन करते और मुखवस्त्रिका का न करते तो यह शङ्का उपस्थित हो सकती थी । परन्तु यहाँ तो किसी भी उपकरण का वर्णन नहीं किया गया है। अतः स्पष्ट है कि यहाँ सूत्रकार को उनकी शरीर-निरपेक्ष तपश्चर्या का और उसके कारण शरीर के अंगोपांगों पर पड़ने वाले प्रभाव का वर्णन करना ही अभिप्रेत है। यदि ऐसा न माना जाय तो उनके कटि आदि अङ्गों के वर्णन के साथ चोलपट्ट आदि का भी वर्णन अवश्य मिलता। अतएव मुख अथवा होठों की कृशता आदि के वर्णन से उनके मुख पर मुखवस्त्रिका का अभाव किसी भी प्रकार सिद्ध नहीं होता ।

Third Varga
They were radiant with spiritual splendor.
In this sutra, the commentator has explained the term 'udbhataghanamukheti' as follows - 'udbhatam - fierce, whose face is like that of a pot, i.e., emaciated due to severe austerities.' Does this statement not prove that a face-covering (mukhavastrika) was worn? Such a doubt arises. The solution is that here the sutra-maker's intention is only to describe the emaciated body due to austerities, not the description of religious accessories. If they had described other bodily accessories and not the face-covering, then this doubt could have arisen. But here, no accessory has been described at all. Therefore, it is clear that the sutra-maker intends to describe their austerities independent of the body and the effect on the limbs of the body. If this is not accepted, then the description of the waist, etc. should have been accompanied by the description of the cloak, etc. Therefore, the description of the thinness of the face or lips does not in any way prove the absence of a face-covering on their face.

Praise by Lord Mahavira
16 - At that time, in the city of Rajagriha, in the Gunasila temple, there was a king named Seni. At that time, the ascetic Lord Mahavira arrived. The assembly went out. Seni also went out. There was a discourse on the Dharma. The assembly returned. Then that king, after hearing and understanding the Dharma from the ascetic Lord Mahavira, worships and pays obeisance to the ascetic Lord Mahavira, and after worshipping and paying obeisance, speaks thus -
'O Lord! Which of these fourteen thousand ascetic leaders, the Indrabhutas, is the most difficult to perform austerities and the greatest in attaining Nirjara (shedding of karmas)?'
'Indeed, Seni! Of these fourteen thousand ascetic leaders, the Indrabhutas, the ascetic is the most difficult to perform austerities and the greatest in attaining Nirjara.'
'O Lord! Why is it said that of these [fourteen thousand ascetic leaders, the Indrabhutas], the ascetic is the most difficult to perform austerities and the greatest in attaining Nirjara?'
'Indeed, Seni! At that time, in the city of Kayandi, a great palace-like dwelling is being inhabited.'
39
Then, another one, wandering from village to village, comes to the Sahsambavana garden near the city of Kayandi. After arriving, 'I will take an appropriate vow and live with self-control and austerity.' The assembly went out, and in the same way, 'he became an ascetic' and 'lives on alms like a heron.' The radiance of the body of that ascetic, from head to foot, was all... shining, shining, standing.
