________________
यदि मैं इस घोर उपसर्ग से बच गया तो मुझे इस त्याग का पारणा करना कल्पता है । पर यदि इस उपसर्ग से न बच सकूँ तो मुझे इस प्रकार का सम्पूर्ण त्याग यावज्जीवन के लिए है ।
ऐसा निश्चय करके उन सुदर्शन सेठ ने उपर्युक्त प्रकार से सागारी - पडिमा अनशन व्रत धारण कर लिया ।
Acceptance of Sāgāri Pratima by Sudarśana
Maxim 14:
As Sudarsana householder saw that angry Mudgarapāņi deity coming to him, he stopped at the place, he was. Though death was in front of him but he felt no fear neither sorrow. His heart was not frightened a bit but remained unafraid, unterrified, unalarmed, undisturbed, unmoved and unperturbed. He fearlessly cleansed the ground by the flap of his garment and sat down facing east direction, made his left knee upward, folding both the hands put on his forehead, After that spoke thus
Homage to Arihanta Bhagawāna and all emancipated. Homage to Śramana and all to be emancipated in future Lord Mahavira.
Even before, in presence of Śramana Bhagwāna Mahavira I have accepted the vows of gross nonviolence, truth, non-stealing, satisfaction in my own wife and limiting the desire of possessions-for my whole life. Now even, considering the presence of the same Bhagawana Mahāvīra, I accept the full (great) vows of non-violence, truth, non-stealing, celibacy and nonpossession. I also completely renounce anger, pride, deceit, greed, until false belief-eighteen types of sins for whole life. I also renounce all the four kinds of meals-food, water, eatables and nutrients (dainties)-for whole life.
