All this description of consecration, austerities, practising of self-control and restrain is very heart-throbing and titill
All these practisers took place during the period of Bhagawūnu Aristanemi.
Sixth, seventh and eighth divisions or sections include titillatory description regarding the propiliation of pure conduct and austerities of sixteen (16) male (men) and twentythree (23) female (women) propiliators during the period of Bhagawāna Mahāvira.
