delight and she coinmenced her marriage-festival. in right earnest. The relatives and acquaintances of cowberders assembled together at her house. Her marriage-festival appeared resplendent with all necessary articles. There was great merriment and other people also began to praise the festival saying, “Their marriage festival is good ". On hearing these words of praise, the cowherdess thought : -" Ah ! our great benefactor is the worthy Seth Jinadās, who by giving excellent garments and orraments and by their presence at our house, greatly increased the sple. ndour of our festival. What service can I do to him in return ? With this idea in ber mind, the cowherdess went to the house of Jindās seth, with two young bulls three years old named Kambala and Sambala who were fat--limbed, elegant with long tails, with well-proportioned nicely curved horns, who were as white as the bright-light of the Moon-both of similar shape - with elegant hump, and who were best among all other bulls and presented them to the Seth. But as Jindās Śeth had a vow of abstinence from possessing four-legged animals, he prohibited her. However, not knowing the true nature of the vow, the cowherdess tied the two bulls at the court-yard of the Ścth's house, aort went away Jindās Śrāvaka now thought : Ah! this is a very difficult situation for me. If I leave these poor crea. tures to their fate, people may yoke them to ploughs or some ill-belaved man inay put them to unnecessary trouble. Besides, if I were to keep them without due attention, there will be carelessness in feeding them since they are kept without any specified object". Thinking in this way for a moment Jindās with a heart full of compassion resulting from the constant hearing of the principles of Religion promulgated by the Jinéśvaras kept the two young bulis at his own house. Jindas used to give them fodder free from living creatures and water filtered with a piece of cloth every day. In this way, he daily took utmost care in feeding to-m. Besides, on the eighth and the fourteenth day of every fortnight of the month, Jiodās seth used to take pauşadha vrala (a vow for increasing religious unit) by obstaining from or restricting engagements pertaining to 1) Āhāra (taking of food and drink materials. (2) Särira satkāra (decoration of one's body)
