    Mahavira renounces the world.


    He pulls out his hair with five plucks of his hand. Waits until his parents die to leave home.

    Jiva is released by self-mortification.

    Hit with sticks. Thrown in the air. Fire built under him.

    Thought the ascetics were not harsh enough.

    Mahavira only ate leftovers. If you harm unintentionally, the karma is less.
