NANDISHEN Nandishen came to Bhagavan Mahavir -
Prabhu! Kindly forgive my mistakes. Attachment had corrupted me. Please initiate me into ascetic-discipline
once again.
Nandishen! To go astray is nothing unusual but to
regain the lost path of righteousness is, indeed,
commendable. You are awake once again. May
you attain bliss, son!
Nandishen got initiated again. He practiced rigorous austerities for many years.

Concluding his life-span he reincarnated as a god -
