Acharya Bhadrabahu smiled at these words
Son ! You have just got a drop out of the endless ocean
of knowledge.
Sthulabhadra was disappointed
Gurudev ! How
will I be able to acquire this unlimited knowledge during my
short life span ?
Son ! Don't worry. As soon a my special practice is over I will speed up the process
of teaching
By the time the Acharyashri's meditational mission was accomplished. Sthulabhadra had gained the knowledge of ten Purvas. Acharyashri said
Son ! Now we will go to Pataliputra and meet the Sangh. Your lessons will continue there.
As you
say, Gurudev
Thousands of ascetics and the Sangh warmly welcomed Acharyashri. Seven ascetic sisters of Sthulabhadra, including Daksha, paid homage to Acharyashri and asked
He is studying Gurudev ! and meditating in Where is our
a cave outside elder brother
the city. Sthulabhadra ?
