Neminath Bhagwan ko parna (renunciation) kisi ne zabardasti nahi karwayi thi. Katha ke mutabik, unki shaadi ke din hi unhone yeh raasta chuna:

• shaadi ke din unhone dekha ki rajnishṭhan ke bhojan ke liye jaanvaron ko qurbani di ja rahi thi; is dard ko dekhkar unki karuna bhavna jagi aur unhone sansaarik jeevan ko tyag kar diya. Is karan unhone sadhu banne ka sankalp liya. Rajulakumari (Rajimati) unke saath hi aage badhkar sadhvi bani; unhone bhi sanyaas apna liya. ( jainknowledge.com)

• aage ki kahaniyon mein kaha gaya hai ki unke bhai Rathnemi ne baad mein laalasa ya ashleelta ki koshish ki, jiska unhone kathor virodh kiya aur apne bhai ki prashansa ki, lekin yeh parna ka pratyaksh karan nahi tha. (Is bhaag ki vyakhya Digambar/Shwetambar paramparaon mein thodi alag-ho sakti hai.) ( jainknowledge.com)

Samajh mein rahe: Neminath ki renunciation apne ahimsa-aur atmano shuddhi ke drishti se unke apne uddeshya se judi thi, kisi ne unhe dabarah kar ke nahi karwaya. Is kahani ka pramukh pehlu yahi hai ki unhone jeevon ki dukh-bhavana dekhkar apna rasta badal diya. You can read more here
