हे माता-पिता ! जब श्रमण भगवान महावीर यहां नगर में पधारे हैं। बाहर उद्यान में विराजे हैं, धर्म सभा में समवसत हए हैं तो मैं उनको यहीं से वंदना नमस्कार करूँ, यह कैसे हो सकता है ? इसलिये माता-पिता ! आप मुझे आज्ञा दीजिए कि मैं वहीं जाकर श्रमण भगवान महावीर को वन्दना करूँ, नमस्कार करूँ, यावत् उनकी पर्युपासना

Thus having heard the news of arrival of Bhagawāna outside Rājag! ha city, from many persons, such thoughts aroused in the mind of Sudarśana Sresthi. Definitely, śramana Bhagawāna Mahāvīra has come to Rājagrha and is staying in Guņaśīlaka garden, which is situated out of city. Therefore I should go and bow down and worship him. Thinking such, Sudarśana came to his parents and with folded hands spoke thus unto them- parents ! Sramana Bhagawāna Mahāvīra has been staying in the garden, outside of city. Hence I intend to go in his service and should bow down and worship him. Hearing this, parents said to Sudarśana-0 beloved son! out of the city Arjuna garland-maker murdering seven persons-six men and one woman everyday, is wandering. So our beloved son! You must not go out of city for bowing down and worshipping Sramana Bhagawāna Mahāvīra. If you go out of city, it is possible that your body may be injured. Therefore it is better that you how down and worship Bhagawāna from here. Then Sudarsana said to his parents-When Sramana Bhagawāna Mahāvīra has come here and staying in the garden outside of city, then how it is possible that I bow down and worship him from here ? So, O parents ! Please allow me that I go there and bow down, worship and serve him.
