Jinabbarlra Gaņi's (The fourth 128. Yüyam tadveşadharā bbaạite bhayatah sakāraṇam ceti!
Pratipannā gurumalam gatvā tataḥ pratik rántāh. (2423) ]
Trans. 125-126-127-128. Although persuaded in this way by the preceptor as well as by Sthaviras, when he was not convinced, Aśvamitra was expelled from the Sangha.x Then having apprehended his arrival at the city of Rājagriha, the khaņda-raksakas (watchmen) caught him along with his pupils, saying that " These are burglers, in disguise of ascetics." “ They should be brought here immediately." "O śrāvaka ! we are ascetics" said Aśvamitra. "Whom do you belong to ?' and when were you initiated ? We belong to such and such a place and we were initiated at such and such a time.” was the reply. They, being dead, have perished there and then only. You seem to be imposters (and hence should be punished. )
When thus told, they resorted to their original (school of) preceptor and got themselves re-initiated. 2420-2423.
