________________
On seeing Ganadhara Mahārāja Indrabhuti Gautama contemplating thus, Śramana Bhagavan Mahavira asked "Gautama Whose word is trustworthy? Is it of Tirthamkaras or of a god? Gaṇadhara Mahārāja Indrabhūti Gautama gently and respectfully said "Of Tirthamkaras. ""
TB
Śramana Bhagavan Mahavira, then consolingly said • Gautama ! Now, do not be impatient. The affection of a Guru, teacher, towards his pupil is easily vanishable like tender grass growing on split-peas. The affection of a pupil towards his Guru-your affection towards me has become as firm as a matting of wool. Your affection towards me has become very solid by long association with me. Your a Kévala Jnana, Perfect knowledge, has thereby become obstructed. It will become manifest only when there is an absence of love and you will then become my equal.'
Meeting of Keshi Kumara and Gautama Ganadhara.
