Trans. 132 During the night in which śramaņa Bhagavāna Mahavira-till savvadukkhappahiné (became one whose bodily and mental pains were completely destroyed ), a variety of small creatures was produced which, if stationary and not moving. could not be, readily seen by Sadhus (monks) and Sadhvis (nuns) possessing imperfeck knowledge, and which if un-stationary and moving are readily seen by them.
133. On seeing these minute creature swarming up, many Sådhus (Monks) and Sadhvis (nuns) did a vow of abstaining from food and materlias till death. The pupil asks-o Worshipful Master! Why did they abstain from food and drink materials ? The Guru Maharaja replied :-Because, hence-forward samyama ( ascetic life ) will be accomplished with difficulty. The world will be full of numerous small creatures and it will be filled with a number of heretics making it quite unsuitable for true ascetics.
On knowing that the time of the Nirvana of śramaņa Bhagavana Mahāvira was drawing near, Indra and Ganadhara Bhagavāns asked a number of questions to śramaņa Bhagavana Mahāyira and they were explained in details by him. An
