Satisfied with reply of his question Krsna Väsudeva bowed down and did reverence to Arhat Aristanemi, went to the place where his excellent elephant was standing, rode on it and started towards his royal palace. On the other side, as the sun shone with lustre, such thoughts arose in the mind of Somila Brāhmana
Today, Krsna Vásudera must have definitely gone to how down to Arhat Aristanemi. He is omniscient. Nothing is hidden from him. He must have known all details about death of Gaja Sukunāla and my ill-deed. Arihanta Aristanemi must have told everything to Krsna Vasudera. In these conditions, becoming agitated Krsna Vasudeva will kill me in a cruel manner that I do not know. Thinking thus he was frightened, came out of home and decided to run far away out of the city. Ile thought-K!$na will return via royal road. Therefore I should run away through any small street and get out of the city before he returns. Thinking thus, he came out his home and ran through a small street. Krsna Väsudeva was full of sorrow due to the cruel death of his younger brother monk Gaja Sukumāla. So he was returning through the same street.
सूत्र ३६ :
तए णं से सोमिले माहणे कण्हं वासुदेवं सहसा पासित्ता भीए, ठिए चेव ठिइभेएणं कालं करेइ । करित्ता धरणितलंसि सव्वंगेहिं धस त्ति सण्णिवडिए । तए णं से कण्हे वासुदेवे सोमिलं माहणं पासइ, पासित्ता एवं वयासीएस णं भो देवाणुप्पिया ! से सोमिले माहणे अपत्थियपत्थए जाव परिवज्जिए । जेण ममं सहोयरे कणीयसे भायरे गयसुकुमाले अणगारे अकाले चेव जीवियाओ ववरोविए, त्ति कटु ।
