10. As the tenth object of disturbance a swifliy-running female elephant came forward. She gave many blows with her temples and tusks, and she poured water copiously on Bhagavan's body with her trunk. She became at last helpless, but she could not shake him from his meditation.
11. During the eleventh disturbance, Samgamaka produced a demon with sharp teeth resembling the teeth of an alli gator. His open mouth filled with blazing flames appeared dreadful like a kindled brazier of fire. His arms resembled pillars of portal arches in the abode of Vama-raja (the King of Death), and his legs and thighs resembled a tall palm tree. He had worn garments of hides, he was laughing boisterously, and he was making loud hissing sounds. Holding a sharp knife in his hand the demon speedily ran towards Śramana Bhagavan Mahavira with the object of harassing him. But having troubled him for some time, the demon was defeated like a lamp with usedup oil, The Venerable Saint was perfectly steady.
12. After this the cruel god immediately assumed the form of an enraged tiger. Making a rent, as is were, in the ground by the splashing of the heavy mass of his tail, and ma king the ground and the sky weep as it were, by the echo of his thrilling yell, the tiger tried to cause trouble to the Lord of the Three Worlds by means of his hard molar teeth and trident-shaped claws. But he was disappointed, like a tree burntup in a forest-fire.
13. The god, then, assumed the form of Siddharth-rājā (the father of Śramana Bhagavan Mahāvira), and of Trisalā Rāņi (his mother). Both of them began to lament, and said :O child why have you commenced this most difficult adventure! We are unhappy without you. Your brother Nandivardhana dɔes not take proper care for us in our old age. He has abandoned us You, therefore, leave off your dikṣā (ascetic life). Do not disregard us. Obey our orders and act in a way that will make our old age happy. " Śramana Bhagavan Mahavira was not in the least disturbed by the heart-softening piteous lamentation.
