तब वे छहों मुनि भगवान् अरिष्टनेमि की आज्ञा पाकर जीवन भर के लिये बेले- बेले की तपस्या करते हुए ग्रामानुग्राम विचरण करने लगे ।
Maxim 8 :
As all these accepted consecration, i.e., became houseless mendicants renouncing house-holders' code, the very day all these approached Arihanta Ariṣṭanemi and bowing worshipping him spoke these words
O Bhagawan! With your consent we wish that till life we practise two days' fast penance and third day take food. Thus observing austerity and fixing ourselves in soul virtues, we wish to move in your religious order.
Bhagawāna said-O beloved as gods! Do, as you feel happy; but do not delay or be not careless in meritorious deeds.
Then getting the consent of Bhagawana Ariṣṭanemi, all these six monks began to wander village to village, with the religious congregation observing two days' fast penance and third day to take food (Bele-Bele fast penance) for whole life.
सूत्र ९ :
तए णं ते छ अणगारा अण्णया कयाइं छट्ठक्खमण पारणगंसि पढमाए पोरिसीए सज्झायं करेंति जहा गोयमसामी जाव।
इच्छामो णं भंते । छट्ठक्खमणस्स पारणए तुब्भेहिं अब्भणुष्णाया समाणा तिहिं संघाडएहिं बारवईए णयरीए जाव उच्च नीयं मज्झिमाई कुलाई अत्तिए ।
अहासु देवाणुप्पिया !
तए णं ते छ अणगारा अरहया अरिट्टणेमिणा अब्भणुष्णाया समाणा अरहं अरिट्टणेमिं वंदति णमंसंति, वंदित्ता गंमंसित्ता अरहओ अरिट्ठणेमिस्स अंतियाओ सहस्संबवणाओ उज्जाणाओ पडिणिक्खमंति पडिणिक्खमित्ता तिहिं संघाडएहिं अतुरियं जाव अडंति ।
