and your wife rich for the rest of your lives."
Hearing this the Brahmin again went in search of Mahavira. He had every intention of asking for the remaining cloth, but when he saw the saint he could not bring himself to make such a greedy request. After all, the cloth he already had would bring him sufficient wealth. As others had found before him, in the presence of the saintly man he found that his own greed had evaporated-that he felt satisfied with whatever he had. But just at that moment, while he was watching Mahavira walk through the jungle, the cloth he was wearing was caught on a thorny branch and pulled from his body as he walked past. Without bothering to turn back, Mahavira left the cloth behind and continued on his way completely naked.
Seeing his opportunity, the Brahmin seized the cloth. He hurried home and brought both pieces to the tailor, who with great skill sewed them together so that no join was visible. Then Soma approached King Nandivardhana with Indra's cloth and the king agreed to buy it in exchange for a large sum of gold. So it was that the couple became rich beyond their dreams and Mahavira, relieved of his final attachment, never again wore any covering whatsoever.
