"I am a mendicant in Kanchipuram, with a body soiled by dirt, a pale and emaciated frame, a Shramana (Shramana) in the city of Daspura. In Varanasi, I was a white-complexioned ascetic. O king, let him who has the power, speak before me, the expounder of the Jain scriptures."
"Formerly, I was beaten in the middle of the city of Pataliputra, and later in the region of Malava and Sindhu, in Kanchipura and Vidisha. I have arrived at Karahata, which is full of mighty warriors and erudite scholars. O king, I am debating the Shaldulavikridita meter."
After this, Samantabhadra discarded his disguise, adopted the Jain scriptural mark, and propagated the Jain doctrine by defeating all the proponents of other philosophies in debate. Seeing this, the king developed faith in the Jain religion, renounced the world, and took Jain monastic vows.
