________________
Mahāvīr's Vānī
One does not become a Śramana by the tonsure, nor a Brahmana by Om, nor a Muni by living in the forest, nor a Tapasa by clothing himself in a raiment of Kusa. One becomes a Śramana by equanimity, a Brahmana by a life of abstinence, a Muni by knowledge and a Tapasa by penance. Uttaradhyayana Sūtra 25. 31-32.
