Kalpa Sutra
मासे वा उऊए वा प्रयणे वा संवच्छरे वा प्रण्णयरे वा दीह-काल-संजोए । भावप्रो — कोहे वा माणे वा मायाए वा लोभे वा भए वा हासे वा पिज्जे वा माया-दोसे वा कलहे वा अब्भक्खाणे वा पेसुण्णे वा पर-परिवाए वा अरइ-रई वा मोसे वा जावमिच्छा-दंसण- सल्ले वा तस्स णं भगवंतस्स णो एवं भवइ । ११८ Then Śramana Bhagavan Mahāvīra became homeless; circumspect in movement, circumspect in words, circumspect in desires, circumspect in acceptance-accumulation-renunciation, circumspect in throwing out stool, urine, saliva and body dirt : Restrained in mind, restrained in words, restrained in physical activities;
Guarding his thoughts, guarding his words, guarding his physical activities, guarding his organs of senses, guarding his
chastity;
Without anger, without pride, without attachment, without greed, calm, grave, devoid of attachment, desisted from everything, freed from compulsion.
Without ego, without possession, with the tie (of worldly bondage) cut, free from any stain of worldliness:
Liberated by giving up suffering, like bell-metal unstained by water.
Sin-free like a conch taking no black dot, without obstruction like the course of life, without support like the firmament, without bound like the wind, pure at heart like water in autumn, without a smear like a lotus leaf, with organs of senses withdrawn like a tortoise, solitary like the rhino's horn, free like the birds, ever alert like the monstrous bharunda, with a high status like an elephant, born strong like an ox, invincible like a lion, steadfast like Mount Mandara, deep like an ocean, mild like the moon, effulgent in prowess like the sun, pure like fine gold, bearing (with unconcern) all touches like the earth, like fire well-fed by offerings, shone he in his own splendour. [Two precise verses for all these terms
(Like) bell-metal, conch and course of life, (Like) firmament, wind and water in autumn, (Like) lotus leaf, (like) tortoise
With organs withdrawn.
(Like) birds, a bhārunda and a rhino's horn. (Like) an elephant, an ox and a lion,
