Once Bhagwan Rishabhdev arrived with his disciples in a town for food. To welcome them, people brought various types of fruits, sweets and gifts. But Rishabhdev thought -
I'll eat only simple food. I can't
have all this.
My Lord, we have brought this gold jewellery for you
Lord, I've got sweet
fruits for you.
When the pangs of hunger and thirst began severe, the disciples started eating the fruits and legumes.
Not getting simple food, Rishabhdev returned back in the jungle hungry and thirsty and dicided to do penance. Due to starvation many disciples approached the lord.
Lord! What sort of food should we eat? Please
quench our thirst.
But Rishabhdev, withdrawn in deep meditation, didn't respond.
