332 Munipati said to Sheth Kunchika :
“You know that the four disciples : viz. Muni Shive, Muni Suvrat, Muni Joyan and Muni Dhanya all were devoid of greed and had no attachment for wealth or gold. In fact, the wealth is the root of ruin for the monks. For them gold is no better than a lump of clay. So it is your mistake to put charge of stealing on me.”
Kunchika : “I agree that Shraman or Jain Muni are non-greedy and sacrificing own comforts, but who knows when a particular recluse will not be tempted. How can we believe that all recluses are alike? It seems to me that you are jast like that lion who killed the physician who had cured his eyes.”
