"COMPASSIONATE BHAGAVAN MAHAVIR
Once Shraman Mahavir was standing in deep meditation outside Pedhal village. From his abode Saudharmendra saw this unprecedented depth of meditation of Bhagavan and saluted from there.
Sangam, a proud god present there, said to Indra
King of gods ! A human being can never have so much capacity in any field that it cannot be disturbed by divine power. If you do not intervene, I can disturb
Mahavir just in one night.
Bhagavan ! you are great. No one can equal you in serenity and depth of your meditation.
DANMAN
Sangam then left for the earth to test Mahavir.
After arriving on the earth Sangam started trying to disturb the concentration of meditating Mahavir. He created a dust storm and filled Mahavir's nose and mouth with sand. He created snakes, scorpions and other such creatures to inflict pain on Mahavir. He turned himself into an elephant and tossed Mahavir. He appeared as ghost and tried to burn Mahavir by throwing flames on him.
