The one who hears the teachings of the Adi Purana, he, being superior to the best of teachers, abandons the wrong path and fixes his mind on the right path. ||33||

The Guru is the father, and the knowledge of the truth is the well-cultivated womb. The noble soul descends into that womb of knowledge through the birth of Dharma. ||34||

This process of descent is similar to the conception of a child, as birth is not involved in either case. ||35||

Thus ends the process of descent. Then, the second process, called "Vrittalaabh," takes place when the noble soul, bowing down at the feet of the Guru, receives the set of vows according to the prescribed rules. ||36||

Thus ends the "Vrittalaabh." Then, the third process, called "Sthanalaabh," takes place for the one who has observed the fast, and it involves the performance of worship. The proper procedure for this is as follows: ||37||

In a clean place within the Jain temple, draw an eight-petaled lotus or a circular mandala representing the place of the Jina. ||38||

Draw this lotus or mandala with fine powder mixed with water, or with sandalwood paste, etc. ||39||

When this eight-petaled lotus or the mandala of the Jina, drawn according to the prescribed rules, has been fully worshipped by the learned scholars, the Acharya should seat the noble soul facing the image of the Jina and touch his head repeatedly, saying, "This is your initiation as a Shravak." ||40-41||

Touch his head with the five-finger mudra and say, "You are purified by this initiation." Then, give him the remaining Akshat from the worship. ||42||

Then, teach him the five-fold prostration mantra, saying, "This mantra will purify you from all sins." ||43||

After performing this ritual, the Acharya should release him for the breaking of the fast. The noble soul, being pleased by the Guru's grace, should then return to his home. ||44||

Thus ends the "Sthanalaabh."

The seeker, abandoning attachment to the wrong path, fixes his mind on the right path. ||33||

At that time, the Guru is his father, and the knowledge of the truth is the well-cultivated womb. The noble soul descends into that womb of knowledge through the birth of Dharma. ||34||

This process is considered similar to conception, as birth is not involved in either case. ||35||

This is the first process of descent.

Then, the second process, called "Vrittalaabh," takes place when the noble soul, bowing down at the feet of the Guru, receives the set of vows according to the prescribed rules. ||36||
