RESOLVE OF INITIATION
358. At that time during that period Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir, who had become famous as Jnataputra (son of the Jnata clan), was free of (any responsibilities of) the Jnata clan or was like a moon in the Jnata clan. He was free of any attachment for his body. He was revered by the people of Videh. He was the son of Videhadatta (mother Trishala). He had a delicate body in spite of being endowed with the strongest body constitution and structure (Vajrarishabha-narach samhanan and samachaturasra samsathan).
He lived in his house with complete detachment for his body for thirty years. When his parents left for their heavenly abode and his vow (taken when he was still in the womb) was fulfilled he renounced all his gold, army, means of commuting, wealth, grains, gems and all valuable and material things. He gave ample charity to beggars and provided all his wealth to the managers of charities expressing his desire to give it all for charity. He divided equitably and distributed all his possessions amongst his relatives. After concluding his year-long charity, during the first month and the first fortnight of the winter season on the tenth day of the dark half of the month of Margashirsh when the moon entered the Uttaraphalguni lunar mansion Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir decided to renounce the world (get initiated).
