not call a non-existing object as existing. We always say out, that which is existing as existing, and we say that which is non-existent as non-existing. O Beloved of the gods! You think over the subject with care, and you will know its true meaning". Having given this valuable explanation to Kaloday? and others, Ganadhara Mahārāja Indrabhuti Gautama went to Śramana Bhagavana Mahāvira, but Kâlodâyî could not arrive at the truth. As a result, he followed Indrabhuti Gautama and respectfully approached Śramaņa Bhagavana Mahavira who was giving a religious sermon to a large gathering. Addressing Kalodayî at a suitable opportunity, Śramana Bhagavana Mahavira told him : -- Kalodayin | Is it true that you were discussing in your assembly, the subject of Paṇcâstikaya propounded by me?

Kālodayi---Yes, My Lord! You have been propounding the principle of Pancastikaya and from the day that we have heard about it, we have been discussing about it whenever we get a suitable opportunity.
:--
Bhagavana Kâlodayin! I have been propounding the principle of Pancästikaya and it 1S a fact that four astikāyas are a- jiva-kaya ( lifeless bodied ) and only one is jîva-kaya (with a living body). I also believe that four astikāyas are a rūpikaya (with a corporeal body).
