As described about, an excellent Samavasarana with a simhasana beset with gold and gems was prepared by gods and Sramaņa Bhagavān Mahāvira gave a brief Sermon.
Although śramaņa Bhagavan Mahāvīra knew that there was 110 one in the assembly who was desirous of reno uncing the world, he gave his sermon for a short time only as it was his Kalpa (established wage) as a Tirthankara. The preaching of a Tirthaikara is never futile Some, being enlightened, renounce the world and some take minor vows But the first preaching of Śramana Bhagavån Mahavira was futile as none came forward for taking any vow. It turned out to be a strange event and it is therefore, reckoned as one of the daša acchéră (ten strange events).
The real beginning of the fruitwa of Tirtharkara Nina Gotra Karma" which Tirthaikaras have acquired, takes place with the aquisition of Kóvala Jnāna ( Perfect Knowledge With the object of experiencing and separating from the Ātmā by a process of experiencing at the actual time of fruition, the benign carticles of Tirthankara Nāma Ciotra Karnia which have become attached to the regions of Atmā, Tirthaikaras move about villages and towns and preach the True Religion for the welfare of living beings of this world.
