If I have hurt any living beings of water, green grass, and clay, I am asking for forgiveness ...
AIMUTTA MUNI
Bälmuni Aimuttä plying in water
His repentance had no bounds. He was extremely sorry for what he had done. He began thinking, "What did I do? I have hurt so many living beings just for fun. How can I be free of these sins? How will I face Lord Mahävir? Oh living beings, I have caused harm to you. Please forgive me for my sins. I will never commit these sins again." Because of his sincere repentance, all of his bad Karmas were destroyed and he attained omniscience or Keval-jnän (infinite knowledge). Now he became a Kevali monk.
After this, Kevali Aimuttä Muni went to Lord Mahävir's assembly and started walking towards the place where other Kevali monks sit. Some senior monks noticed this and told him, "Oh, Aimuttä!! Where are you going? That is the place for Kevali monks to sit. Go over there, where the other monks are sitting."
