The Bitter Consequences of the Passion of Anger
With the arrival of Mahavira, the prosperous city of Vaishali was cverwhelmed with joy. Prince Vardhamana was visiting it for the first time after his renunciation. Every house was decorated with garlands. Attractive archs were erected at crossroads. City-gates were adorned with garlands, paintings and banners. Colourful flags were fluttering from buildings and shops. Men, women and children were in a festive mood. The whole city was ready for the grand reception of Tirthankara Mahavira.
The rich merchants dwelling in lofty mansions invited Mahavira to their places. The royals too invited him to their grand palaces. They wanted their residences sanctified with the holy foot-steps of the saint Mahavira. All guessed as to whose place he would choose for his stay. Who would get the opportunity to earn such auspicious merit?
