COMPASSIONATE BHAGAVAN MAHAVIR
After hundreds of years of penance ascetic Vishvabhuti acquired several miraculous powers.
| | Once ascetic Vishvabhuti arrived in Mathura city for breaking
his one month fast. Prince Vishakhanandi was already in Mathura. When he saw an ascetic walking on the streets he recognised him as Vishvabhuti.
Lo! This is Vishvabhuti. How weak
he has become?
While the ascetic was going for alms from door to door a stray cow hit him.
The ascetic fell on the ground. Seeing all this Vishakhanandi laughed heartily
Ha! Ha! Are you the same Vishvabhuti who made a giant tree tremble like a straw with just one mighty kick. Where all your strength and
courage has gone?
