When he heard from his mansion the noise and movement of a multitude of men, Jamāli said unto himself, "What's the matter today? Are they celebrating the Indra festival, or Skanda festival, Vasudeva festival, nāga festival, yaksa festival, spirit festival, well festival, tank festival, river festival, canal festival, mountain festival, tree festival, caitya festival, mound festival or any other, so that people from the lines of Ugra, Bhoga, Rājanya, Ikşvāku, Jnāts, Kuru and all others, have, after taking their bath, come out en masse ?” Then he made enquiries from his attendant who ascertained the reason, till made sure of the arrival of Bhagavān Mahāvira, came back, and gave the following report to his master : "Oh beloved of the gods ! Today there is no Indra festival, or any other, but Bhagavān Mahāvīra has arrived at the Vahuśālaka park and is duly encamped there. So the kşatriyas from the lines of Ugra, etc., are all on their way thither to pay their homage and obeisance to the worthy soul.” Having heard these words, Jamāli was highly delighted and pleased. He called forth his men and said unto them, "Oh beloved of the gods ! Please arrange at once my horse-drawn. chariot with four bells and bring it hither and report to me,” The men carried out the order and reported.
