Bhagaval 5:4:78-82
~:231:~
pāṇenam viņaenam veyāvaḍiyam kareha. aimutte nam kumāra-samane amtakare ceva, amtimasaririe ceva.
"O Noble Ones!" saying so, the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra addressed the Elders thus: Thus, indeed, O Noble Ones! my disciple, the child ascetic, named Atimuktaka, is gentle by nature...... up to humble (as in 5.78). He, Atimuktaka, the child ascetic, will, in this very birth, be liberated..... up to sufferings (as in 5.80). Therefore, do not you, Noble Ones! disdain, despise, deprecate, censure and insult him. O you beloved of gods! accept the child ascetic Atimuktaka without any feeling of disgust, support him without any feeling of disgust, and serve him with food and drink with humbleness, without any feeling of disgust. The child ascetic Atimuktaka is destined to put an end to his mundane existence and is now in his last reincarnation.
5.82 tae nam te thera bhagavamto samaṇeṇam bhagavaya mahāvīreṇam evam vuttā samāṇā samaṇam bhagavam mahāvīram vamdati namamsati, aimuttam kumārasamaṇam agilãe samginhamti, agilae uvaginhamti, agilãe bhatteṇam pāṇeṇam vinaeṇam veyāvadiyam karemti.
Thus told by the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, those Lord Elders offer homage and obeisance to the Ascetic Lord Mahavira. They accept the child ascetic Atimuktaka without any feeling of disgust, offer him support without any feeling of disgust, and serve him with food and drink with humbleness and without any feeling of disgust.
1. Sūtras 78-82
The life of the child ascetic, Atimuktaka, is found delineated in the Amtagadadasão. The incident of floating the bowl as a boat in water, however, is not mentioned there. The Vṛtti says that the child ascetic, Atimuktaka, was ordained in his sixth year which is considered by the commentator as surprise. The Amtagaḍadasão does not mention the age of ordination of Atimuktaka. When he expressed his desire for ordination, his parents said him thus: 'O son! you are yet a child, unenlightened and ignorant of the monastic discipline"."
There is no doubt that Atimuktaka was ordained when he was a mere child. Semantics
agilā-without any feeling of disgust.
Bhasya
samginhaha-accept.
uvaginhaha-support.
amtakara-destined to put an end to birth and death.
amtimasariri caramasarīrī-destined to attain liberation in this very birth.
