Gautam was in a dilemma
Am I really under illusion?
No.
Jain Education International
Then, revered one, I am telling the truth. It is you who should atone.
Gautam at once came to Bhagavan Mahavir and asked humbly
Bhante, in the matter of Gathapati Anand, am I wrong or is he? Who should atone?
Postponing his meals, Gautam retraced his steps at once and came to Anand
Gathapati Anand, What you said was true. My remark has caused you pain. I beg your pardon for that. I accept my mistake.
Gautam never hesitated in accepting his mistakes.
Gautam what Anand says is true. You are wrong. Go and seek his pardon.
