The Adipurana
Again, the Lord, with a gentle and deep voice, asked his relatives, bound by love, for permission to take initiation. ||193||
When the commotion of the people had subsided, and they had all gone back, and the auspicious beginning of the morning had arrived, and Indra was himself serving the Lord, then the Lord Vrishabhadeva, standing within the curtain, renounced all internal and external possessions, having vowed to be without possessions, and considering all things in the world with equanimity, and filled with good intentions, renounced clothes, ornaments, and garlands, etc., to destroy delusion. ||194-196||
The ornaments that were previously shining brightly on the Lord's body, became devoid of luster at that time, due to being separated from the Lord's body. So it is, because what luster can remain when there is a change of location? That is, none. ||197||
Having taken the vow of non-possession as the main thing, the Lord Vrishabhadeva renounced, with the witness of the gods and the Siddhas, all that was sentient, such as maidservants, servants, cows, bulls, etc., and all that was non-sentient, such as gems, pearls, corals, etc., without any expectation. ||198-199||
Then, the Lord, facing east, sat in the lotus posture, and bowing to the Siddha Supreme, he plucked his hair in five handfuls. ||200||
The brave and wise Lord Vrishabhadeva, plucking many hair-like vines, resembling the main vines of the deluding karma, took the Jain initiation, becoming a Digambara. ||201||
The Lord, renouncing all sinful beginnings, took the Samayika vow, and also took the divisions of the vow, such as vow-secrecy, committee, etc. ||202||
On the ninth day of the bright fortnight of the month of Chaitra, at an auspicious time and a good sunrise, the Lord renounced the world in the afternoon. ||203||
