Further, there are many other things full of imprudence in their scriptures. They mention occurrence of motion to the omniscient Jina and say that diseases, etc. are found in Him and further say that someone threw Tejo Leshya (effect of electric body) on Him, due to which Lord Vardhamaan Jina suffered from the disease of dysentery (colic pain) and because of it He had frequent motions.

Is Indra not capable of creating an organisation similar to a market place, because of which taking shelter in the market would be necessary?
They further say, that the omniscient Lord went to somebody's house for sermonising but sermonising by going to someone's house is possible due to excessive attachment feeling only and such a
