Bhaäavati Stra Bk. 8 Ch. 7
The said heretical monks came to Bhagavan Mahavira and his monks and said unto them in part as follows :
“ Aryas ! By three modes and three means, we think, you are unrestrained, unresisted. unrestricted and unrenounced. (state everything as stated in S. 7. U. 2.), till you are out and out fools.”
तणं ते थेरा भगवंतो ते अण्णउत्थिए एवं वयासी—केणं कारणेणं अज्जो ! अम्हे तिविहं तिविहेणं अस्संजयविरय जाव... एगंतबाला या वि भवामो ?
On hearing these words, the senior monks in the order of Bhagavan Mahāvīra said unto the heretics as follows: "Aryas! For what reason do you say that by threemodes, till we are fools ?"
तणं ते अण्णउत्थिया ते थेरे भगवंते एवं वयासी - तुब्भे णं अज्जो ! अदिण्णं गेहह अदिष्णं भुंजह अदिण्णं साइज्जह 1 तणं ते तुब्भे अदिण्णं गेव्हमाणा अदिण्णं भुजमाणा अदिण्णं साइज्जमाणा तिविहं तिविहेणं असंजयविरय जाव... एतबाला या विभवह ।
Heretics-"Aryas ! You accept things which have not been bestowed, you eat things which have not been bestowed, you permit the acceptance of things which have not been bestowed. In thus accepting, eating and permitting the acceptance of things not duly bestowed, you become, by three modes, etc.,. till out and out fools.”
तएणं ते थेरा भगवंतो ते अण्णउत्थिए एवं वयासी - केणं कारणेणं अज्जो ! अम्हे अदिण्णं गेण्हामो अदिण्णं भुंजामो अदिण्णं साइज्जामो ? जए णं अम्हे अदिष्णं गेहमाणा जाव... अदिण्णं साइज्जमाणा तिविहं तिविहेणं असंजयविरय जाव... एगंतबाला या वि भवामो ?
Senior monks-"Aryas! How do you think that we accept things not duly bestowed, etc., till we are out and out fools ?"
तणं ते अण्णउत्थिया ते थेरे भगवंते एवं वयासी - तुम्हाणं अज्जो ! दिज्जमाणे अदिणे पडिग्गहेज्जमाणे अपडिग्गहिए णिस्सरिज्जमाणे अणिसिट्ठे । तुब्भं
