CHAPTER - XI
The seventh great scholar Mauryaputra followed the six scholars who had got their doubts cleared one after another. He brought with him his family of 350 students. He too was looking forward to meet the Lord like the senior scholars. As soon as he reached the Samavasarana the Lord Said 'In the Vedas there is a verse" "an Jha HRT49a fatura sepegoale Gum "
“which means that who has seen the heavenly gods namely Indra', Yama?, Kuber, Varun' and others?" You have interpreted the verse to beas follows- "Because no one knows about these Gods, they do not exist at all. They are all only illusionary beings and are like a mirage formed in the desert. Although in another place in the Vedas it is said “स एष यज्ञायुधो यजमानोऽजसा
Harita Tofa" "Because heaven is the abode of the heavenly beings it is proved that there is the existence of such beings called Devas. Oh Mauryaputra: Isn't this your doubt?".

There upon Maurayaputra said "True, my Lord, what you say is true. Please clarify my doubt and bless me: Lord Mahavira then replied, “Oh Mauryaputra: your doubt regarding the existence of Devas is baseless because you can see the devas with your own eyes in this Samavasarana. What you see Pratyakshas does not need Pramana
" 91.. This adjective applied to the Devas in the Vedic Verse signifies that the pleasure of the heaven are not eternal but transitory; because" "aitut que haferich fagif"
