: 132: Jinabhadra Gani's
[The fifth The preceptor tried to convince him of the validity of the religious principle of the Agamas, but he dill not change his belief. Consequently, he was expelled from the Sangha.
Then, during the course of his wanderings from place to place, he went to the city of Rājagriha. There, in the midst of an assembly gathered near the temple of a serpent-god named Manināga situated on the bank of a spring named Mahātapastira, he preached his theory of dvikriyā. Maņināga was highly enraged at the arguments of Gangācarya, anıl he sail, “O wicked monk ! Why do you try to preach such an ignoble principle here? Do you claim yourself to be even a greater preacher the Great Tirthankara śrīman Vardhamana Swāni who laid down, in this city of Rājagriha, the principle that one and only one process of experience could take place at one time? What do you mean by preaching a false theory of two processes of experience working at one time? Give up holding such falsc notions or clse you will ruin yourself.”
Being afraid of Maņināga, and becoming cnlightened by sound reasoning, Ārya Ganyācārya gave up his false belief and at last resorted to the school of his old preceptor after having excused Maņināga for his apparently harsh deed. 2425.
