हे पुत्र ! तू सुख में पला, सुख भोगने योग्य है, दुःख सहन करने योग्य नहीं है। तू (अभी तक )
शीत, उष्ण, क्षुधा, पिपासा को तथा चोर, व्याल (सर्प आदि हिंस्र प्राणियों), डांस, मच्छरों के उपद्रव को एवं वात, पित्त, कफ एवं सन्निपात सम्बन्धी अनेक रोगों के आतंक को और उदय में आये हुए परीषहों एवं उपसर्गों को सहन करने में समर्थ नहीं है। हे पुत्र ! हम तो क्षणभर भी तेरा वियोग सहन करना नहीं चाहते। अतः पुत्र ! जब तक हम जीवित हैं, तब तक तूं गृहस्थवास में रह । उसके बाद हमारे कालगत हो जाने पर, यावत् प्रव्रज्या ग्रहण कर लेना ।

Thus when all enticing methods including telling, showing and explaining of suggestions, arguments, inducements, and allurements failed to break the resolve of Kshatriya youth Jamali, his parents resorted to repulsive methods like instilling fear and antipathy for ascetic discipline "Son! The word of the Nirgranth (propagated by the omniscient) is true and unique. It is just, pure, and an antidote for thorns like illusion. It shows the path of purity, liberation, heaven and Nirvana. It is free from doubt as well as falsehood and is the means of removal of all sorrows. Those who follow the said path get perfected (Siddha), enlightened (Buddha), liberated (mukta), free of cyclic rebirth (nirvana), and end all miseries. However, to tread this path it is necessary to have a deep concentration like a snake has when it hunts its prey. This path is as sharp as a razor's edge. To tread this path is like biting iron bits. It is as tasteless as a mouthful of sand. To move on this path is like swimming against the current in a great river like the Ganges, swimming across an ocean, walking on spear points, suspending ! a heavy rock on the neck, and walking on the edge of a sword.
"Son! A wide range of eatables is prohibited for an ascetic; it includes (1) Adhakarmi (food prepared for a specific ascetic), (2) Auddeshik (food generally cooked for ascetics or other seekers), (3) ! Mishrajaat (food prepared for self as well as ascetics), (4) Adhyavapurak (increasing the quantity of food when an ascetic comes for alms), (5) Putik (mixed with faulty food), (6) Kreet (food purchased for ascetics), (7) Pramitya (food borrowed for ascetic), (8) Achhedya (snatched from someone and given to ascetic), (9) Anisrishta (food offered without the ! knowledge of the owners), (10) Abhyahrit (food brought from some other place for ascetics), (11) Kantar-bhakt (food prepared for jungle travel), (12) Durbhiksha-bhakt (food prepared for drought), (13) Glaan-bhakt (food prepared for a sick person), (14) Vardalika-bhakt (food prepared for difficult times), (15) Praghoorn-bhakt (food prepared for guests), (16) Shayyatar-pind (food belonging to the shelter provider) and (17) Raj
