COMPASSIONATE BHAGAVAN MAHAVIR
Proceeding further Mahavir arrived at ruins of an old temple. The villagers approached him and
said
This experience at the hermitage inspired Mahavir to make five resolutions
TONYE I will never stay at a place where I am unwanted, spend most of my
time in meditation, remain silent, accept food only in my palms and not
keep contact with householders.
O delicate ascetic ! A cruel Yaksh (a lower god) named Shulapani lives here. During the night he will kill you. Please
select some other place of stay.

But ascetic Mahavir was fearless. He stood in meditation at a spot inside the temple in order to remove the fear of the villagers.
When the darkness of night descended, Shulapani Yaksh arrived making loud hissing sound. When he saw a human being occupying his abode he started burning with anger.
Who wants to embrace death?
How dare he....?
