emaciated, and vigourless. He joined his palms and uttered, “I bow and convey my reverence to the worthy ones (Arhats), the supreme ones (Bhagavans), . . . . . . . (the panegyric by the king of gods or the Shakrastav).
My reverence also to my preceptor, the Sthavir Bhagavant. Earlier, before 15 the Sthavir guru, I took the five great vows including refraining from hurting S
5 life. Now I once again take the same oath in the name of the Arihants. I also 12 take an oath to remain detached from my body till my last breath.” 5 Saying thus, and after doing the last critical review (Alochana C
Pratikraman), he took the ultimate vow and embraced the meditative death. 15 He reincarnated as a god in the Sarvarthsiddh Anuttar Viman. From there § he will descend in the Mahavideh area and obtain liberation.

र 28. Long-lived Shramans! In just this way those of our ascetics who, after B getting initiated, do not get distracted from their practices and attracted and 5 attached to the carnal mundane pleasures, become during this life the objects 15 of reverence, respect, obeisance, honour, and regard for; and blissful and 5 beneficent to; and worthy of worship as gods and temples by numerous ascetics and lay persons. Moreover, during the next life also they do not suffer miseries like punishment and the curse of the state, or abuse or beating, and in the end cross the ocean of mundane sufferings, as ascetic 5 Pundareek did.
