“He begged his younger brother Vardhaman, ‘Don’t become an ascetic monk just yet. Stay with me for another two years.’ Prince Vardhaman had no heart to refuse. So, He accepted His elder brother’s request for two more years. But during this period, He lived like an ascetic. Indulging in spiritual practices with due discipline, He prepared Himself for His impending renunciation.” “Knowing about His resolve for renunciation, gods from the edge of the universe arrived and put forth the formal request. ‘O benefactor of the world! Your resolve is great. Please proceed on the path of renunciation and propagate religion for the welfare of the world.’” “So, Prince Vardhaman ［Lord Mahavira］gave charity three hours every day for one year long. Rich or poor, whoever come to Vardhman was awarded whatever he desired. At the end of one year, Vardhaman was ready for renunciation.”
