* आलोचना में अभिमुख बुद्धि, अपोह-यह इसी प्रकार है, ऐसी निश्चयात्मक बुद्धि, मार्गणा* अन्वयधर्मी चिन्तन-अमुक होने पर अमुक होता है-ऐसा चिन्तन एवं गवेषणा-व्यतिरेकधर्मी
चिन्तन-अमुक नहीं होने पर अमुक नहीं होता इस प्रकार गम्भीर चिन्तन करते हुए उसको * किसी दिन वीर्य-लब्धि (विशेष जीवनीशक्ति), वैक्रिय-लब्धि (अनेक रूप बनाने की क्षमता) * तथा अवधिज्ञान-लब्धि (अतीन्द्रिय रूपी पदार्थों को साक्षात् आत्मा द्वारा जानने की शक्ति) * प्राप्त हो गई। अतएव वह लोगों को आश्चर्यचकित करने के लिए इन लब्धियों द्वारा * काम्पिल्यपुर में एक ही समय में सौ घरों में आहार करता है, सौ घरों में निवास करता है।
गौतम ! इस कारण अम्बड़ परिव्राजक के द्वारा काम्पिल्यपुर में सौ घरों में आहार करने * तथा सौ घरों में निवास करने की बात कही जाती है (वह सत्य है)।
92. Gautam ! This Ambad Parivrajak is simple and calm by nature. The intensity of his anger, conceit, deceit and greed has
become minimum. He is endowed with qualities of sweetness and e amiability. He obeys his seniors and is modest. He has undergone
continued rigorous austerities by enduring heat from scorched earth facing the sun with raised arms and all along observing a series of two day fasts. Therefore, there has been a gradual improvement in his pious attitude and feelings, lofty pursuits and resolutions, and
progressively refining leshyas (the colour code indicator of a complexion of soul). As a consequence of this spiritual purity, at
some point of time, there has been extinction-cum-pacification (kshayopasham) of the karmas that obscured his powers of potency
(virya labdhi), transmutation (vaikriya labdhi) and extrasensory * perception of the physical dimension (avadhi-jnana). After that he * undertook profound contemplation following the process of iha or ** inquiry, apoh or deduction, margana or confirmation and gaveshana
or elimination. While doing so, one day he acquired the power of S potency (virya labdhi) or enhanced life-energy, the power of transmutation (vaikriya labdhi) or acquiring desired form and the power of extrasensory perception of the physical dimension (avadhijnana). Now, making use of these special powers, he takes his food from a hundred households and lives in a hundred households at the same time in Kampilyapur city simply to astonish people. Gautam That is why this rumour about Ambad Parivrajak living and eating in a hundred households at the same time is true.
