"Out of the three souls-that of Tripristha Vasudeva, the charioteer, and the lion-wandering through various lives, I am now, the soul of Tripristha Vāsudėva. The farmer is the soul of the lion, and, you Indrabhūtı Gautama ! you are the soul of the charioteer. In your former life, you had pleased him with sweet words, and I had killed him, 80, in this life, he has an affection for you, and he has a feeling of animosity towards me. In this way, you should know the cause of love and hatred in this life. But the farmer has now become T&Taft Sukla-pakşi, that is to say, a jîva whose term of existence in this world has become limited to S TOTT Ardha Pudgala-parāvartana, while a jiva whose term of existence in this world is more than Ardha pudgala-parāvartana, is called a Fortef Krisna-pakşi jiva."
On hearing these words of śramaņa Bhagavān Mahavira, many persons acquired Samyaktva. “O Gautama ! the farmer, who acquired Samvaktva of only two p ar Ghaţikā duration (48 minutes) from you, will attain Alp, Moksa, Liberation, within Ardha Pudgala-parāvartana Kāla. I had, therefore, sent you to enlighten him." On hearing this narration of the farmer, Indra and others became more firm in their Samyaktva. In the same manner, O fortunate people ! You should remain firm in in your Samyaktva for a long time.
