Bhagavan Mahavira, endowed with thirty-four Atisayas (distinguished attributes), delivered a soul-stirring and impassioned sermon in the assembly of gods and human
beings. Simultaneously, a great sacrifice was in progress in another part of the city.But huge crowds were seen going in the opposite direction, towards Samavasarana. Indrabhuti, of Gautama Gotra, was the chief priest, and he was told about Bhagavin Mahivira's Samavasarana. On hearing this, his vanity was hurt and he decided to put to test the so-called omniscience of the new saint. He, therefore, started towards the Samavasarana accompanied by to his disciples. Mahivira, called him by his name and without asking dispelled his doubts about soul, upon which he with his 500 disciples accepted monkhood. Hearing this, the remaining ten learned scholars came there and their secret doubts having been removed, accepted initiation with 3900 diciples. Mahavira, gave Tripadi and established four-fold sangha. 11 Ganadharas, composed Tripadi into Dwadashangi.
