C. Your idea about Tirthankaras as absolutely acelaka is not quite correct. Even during their life incognito Tirthankaras are unusually bold, strong, and full of knowledge. Since they have subdued all the evil instincts they do not keep pātra or vastra, and go with their compact hands as pātra, and still they are not defiled by faults that would come in the way of the practice of austerities. Sivabhati :--Then, how do you say that all the Tirthankaras had renounced the world with one garment ? Acārya :--Although garment was not helpful to them in the practice of austerities etc, they, foreseeing that all the ascetios of the Church shall have to bear garments and vessels for a long time, accepted dikşā with one garment. In course of time, if the garment drops down by itself, they become uncovered. But that does not mean that they were uncovered for all the time. This, your belief that Tīrthankaras were absolutely uncovered for all the time exhibits nothing but ignorance on your part. 32–34. (2581-2583).
