केसिमेवं बुवंतं तु गोअमो इणमब्बत्री | विष्णाणेण समागम्म धम्मसाहणमिच्छिअ ॥ ३१ ॥
Késimèvam buvantam tu Goama inamabbavi; Viņņāņéna samāgamma dhamma-sāhaṇamicchiam.
31. To Śramaņa Kési Kumāra asking in this way Gaṇadhara Mahārāja Indrabhūti Gautama replied thus:-The Tirthankaras having ascertained विण्णाणेण Vinnānēna विज्ञानेन Vijnanéna, by Kévala Jñana, whatever is appropriate for their ascetics, have permitted the use of materials necessary for the fulfilment of their various duties.

The ascetics of the time of Tirthankara Bhagavan Śrī Risabha-déva Swāmī and of the time of Tirthankara Bhagavan Sri Vardhamana Swāmi were not allowed the use of coloured and costly garments, under the fear of their undertaking the preparation of these articles involving the death of many small animalcules during the process or having these articles prepared for themselves by others, because they were crooked and dull. The ascetics of the time of Tirthankara Bhagavan Śrī Pārsva Nath were straight-forward and wise, and hence there was no objection in allowing them the use of such beautiful and costly garments.
