I am the Soul She never went. Ambad stretched far as he could see, but could not find Sulasa. He thought, “What sort of a woman is this? Why doesn't she come? Wait, let me try another test. He changed his form again. This time as a Jain Sadhu, he carried the rajjoharan and patra with him, and presented himself in the courtyard of Sulasa's home. He spoke the Dharmalabha. Hearing him say it, Sulasa ran out full of devotion and welcomed him with folded hands. She sang his praises and was elated to have got the opportunity of supatradana.
That's when Ambad in the form of the Sadhu, asked for a sacheta thing. And Sulasa was stunned. She said, “Pardon me, Sir! Either you are an impostor or you have forgotten the Jineshwar's dharma. A Sadhu should not ask for unthinkable things. Please forgive me! I am a follower of the Jineshwar. I shall not give you any sacheta thing. Please go away!'
Now it was Ambad's turn to be stunned. He was overwhelmed. Seeing the unique loyalty towards Jineshwar and the path he preached, even a labdhidhari Sadhak like him fell at Sulasa's feet. He appeared in his original form and said, “Sulasa! You are just like the Prabhu said. I took so many forms to test you. I tried to entice you but you were not to be tempted. How great is your loyalty, your steadiness! Sulasa, Prabhu has sent the dharma Sandesh only for you. In this great city of Rajgruhi, you are the only fortunate one to whom Prabhu has sent the message.
Sulasa took the dharma Sandesh and touched it to her forehead. She said, “Please forgive me! But my devotion is dedicated at the feet of my Lord. Nowhere else will my devotion bow. You or the other gods may well be respected but for me only my Lord is the one for whom my faith is reserved. My mind does not accept anything else!'
