COMPASSIONATE BHAGAVAN MAHAVIR
Sangam threw a giant wheel weighing thousands of tons over the head of Mahavir. It could crush even Meru mountain. Under the weight of this wheel Mahavir was pushed into the earth up to his knees.

Mahavir shifted back to the ground level by force of his inner strength and continued his undisturbed meditation.
Sangam continued to torture Mahavir for six months. In the end he conceded defeat and bowed at the feet of Bhagavan Mahavir.
When Mahavir saw Sangam departing his eyes became wet. He thought
O great man! I have taken very hard test of you patience and equanimity. I
failed to disturb even a tiny hair on your body. I concede my defeat and
beg your leave.
Thad taken a vow to work towards upliftment
and salvation of the world. But Sangam has acquired deep and evil karmas in order to test me. He has turned the means of upliftment into
the means of downfall for himself.
After this incident Mahavir moved towards Kaushambi city.
Dejected Sangam left for his abode.
