Elaboration - - Message of the story of Jamali - It appears from the description of Jamali's initiation that he was at a very high level of knowledge as well as sentiment of renunciation. The expert and apt refutation of what his parents said to dissuade him provides a glimpse of the knowledge-impregnated feeling of renunciation. Even after getting initiated he indulged in harsh austerities and emaciated his body. But when his bloated ego for knowledge consumed his sagacity he declared himself to be an omniscient, even though he still was a chhadmasth. He became dogmatic enough to preach against the word of the omniscient. In spite of such high level of practices and immaculate ascetic praxis, pushed by his pervert dogma he went against his guru. As a consequence he was caught in the vortex of cycles of rebirth. Fourteen years after Bhagavan Mahavir attained omniscience, Jamali became his first mendacious seceder (Nihnava).
Sadhvi Priyadarshana (Jamali's wife) supported Jamali's doctrine out of her past attachment as a householder. Then Potter Dhank, her host, explained her the uselessness and worthlessness of the false doctrine with irrefutable logic. This inspired her to abandon Jamali's side and rejoin Bhagavan Mahavir's religious organization along with her one thousand female ascetic disciples (sadhuis). Jamali's doctrine is popularly known as Bahurat-vaad. (Avashyak Sutra, Niryukti and Bhashya)
