5 months. The instructions were strictly followed and the people s
benefitted. 4. This is a metaphoric example. Dwarika depicts the Indian
subcontinent. Shrikrishna depicts Tirthankar. The god who came to i 15 test Shrikrishna depicts fruits of pious deeds. Trumpet depicts i Hi scriptural knowledge and trumpet-blower-guard depicts a shraman. 41 When a shraman blows the trumpet of scriptural knowledge the
masses are cured of their disease of karma. But the shraman who
selfishly misuses scriptural knowledge and breaks the prescribed 4 of codes gets caught in the cycle of rebirths as punishment. Listeners 4 having such attitude are unworthy. The shraman who does not
selfishly misuses scriptural knowledge and avoids breaking the
prescribed codes embraces success in the goals of development of the i self as well as masses. Such listeners are worthy.
14. Ahir (a trade based caste in India; those who own cattle and fi 4 deal in milk and milk products) This is also an incident given as an $ example-An Ahir couple goes to the town to sell their cart full of
pitchers filled with butter. Reaching the town they park their cart and 5 start unloading the pitchers. Due to carelessness of one of them, a 5 4 pitcher fell on the ground and broke. The condensed butter spilled on
the ground. The husband and wife blamed each other and started
quarrelling. During this squabble the butter melted and seeped into $ the sand. Valuable time was wasted and by the time they could sell the fi remaining butter, the day ended. They started back for their village. $ In the darkness of the night they were looted by dacoits. Abandoning 5 everything they ran for their life and somehow reached the village. 5. In the same way a listener who enters into an argument with his
teacher or a colleague over some mistake, wastes his own as well as 4 others time. Such listeners are unworthy.
Another Ahir couple faced a similar coincidence. As soon as the 5 pitcher broke they begged pardon mutually and at once collected the si 5 condensed butter spilled on the ground, melted it in a pot, filtered it 4 S and filled it back into a new pitcher. Their selling activity was not
disturbed. They sold all their produce in time to return home safe 5 before sunset. श्रोता के प्रकार
