The stories given as illustrations are very ordinary and devoid of any merit, and in some places they even seem unnatural. They lack any depiction of emotions, and therefore they often appear lifeless. The commentator, while giving them, seems to have paid no attention to whether the nature of the vow, non-vow, or virtue-vice, etc., for which these illustrations are given, is clearly expressed in the character of the story, which is found in this text or other main texts, and whether any extraordinary feature is mentioned in its demonstration of results. In the story of Anantamati, nowhere is the nature of the 'Nishkankshit' limb and Anantamati's feelings about it expressed; rather, the greatness of Anantamati's vow of celibacy is mentioned here and there; in the long story of the 'Pravahana' limb, the nature of 'Pravahana' is not even shown, let alone being demonstrated; it is not even mentioned how Vajrakumar made the chariot move - whether he showed any supernatural power and how and what influence it had on Jainism; in the story of Dhandev, it seems that there was no need to explain how Dhandev's truthfulness was proved by the king, and without informing him, a decision was made in her favor by the king! In the story of Satyaghoṣa, which is given to show the fault of false speech, he is made out to be a thief, which makes this illustration, instead of being about false speech, become about theft, like other texts. And in this way, so many errors are found in all these stories that a detailed essay could be written on them. But if the commentator has not been able to present these illustrations well, has not mentioned their poignant aspects, and has not been able to make their stories influential by removing the errors, then it is all his fault. No objection can be made to the original text because of it. And the original narratives cannot be as insignificant or unimportant as they have been described in the commentary. Therefore, we say that there is no force in this 7th objection. Regarding the 6th objection, it can be said that the 'Jay' mentioned in the verse will be someone other than Sulochana's husband, or someone else
