16-21. Compassionate from nis birth, devoted to doing good to others, utterly watchful in the object that 'no insect, though very small, should be pained by me', bearing with equanimity whatever miseries were befalling him, wishing good even to those who were doing injury or giving pain to him, equal-minded, naturally indifferent to worldly attachment ( Virāga ), wishing to lift up mankind, sharp-wittedly seeing, distinctly perceiving. rightly understanding circumstances or situation, he-at the age of thirty years, after his parents' death, having taken the permission of his brother and other relatives-entered upon the ascetic-life characterized by the utmost selfrestraint and full renunciation, on the tenth day of the dark half of Mārgashirsha, in order to make his soul entirely pure as well as enlightened by Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
