The belief that a kevalin (for example, Bahubali) would respectfully greet an other kevalin, like Rishabha.18 (46-47)
A kevalin like Mahāvīra unknowingly suddenly sneezed (which suggests that the kevalin's body still has impurities). (48)
Ganadhara Gautama paid respects to a non-Jaina mendicant [named Khandaka]. (49-50)

A yugala (male and female twins) born in [the continent of Hari-varsha was snatched by a heavenly being (deva) and brought to the continent of Bharata where he made their bodies small (to suit the Bharata region, i.e., against the rule that a bhogabhūmi person cannot come to the karmabhūmis)." (59)
They were anointed as king and queen in Mathura, where they ate meat and were reborn in hell (i.e., when in fact a person born in the bhogabhūmi is reborn only in heaven). For this reason, the Shvetambaras consider this a miracle (acherā). They maintain that the lineage of the Haris (Harivamsha) derives from this family. (In the view of Digambaras, this story violates the rules pertaining to the twins born in a bhogabhūmi). (60-64)
A muni does not break the aparigraha-mahāvrata even when he keeps fourteen requisites (upakaraṇas, such as pātras for collecting food and water, clothes, blanket, and so forth). (6567)
Kāla is not a separate dravya. (68-69).
The ganadhara of Tīrthankara Munisuvrata was a horse.20 (70)
