________________ 20. Sutra Meaning: I am bowing down with true devotion to the first Tirthankar Shree Rushabha Dev, who is the cause of prosperity, to Shree Shanti Nath Bhagawan, to Shree Nemi Nath Bhagawan, who is like a supreme monk, to Shree Parshva Nath Bhagawan, who enlightens the universe and who is the abode of supreme virtues and to Bhagawan Shree Mahavir Swami. 1. Oh! Tirthankar Bhagawan, you have successfully crossed the ocean of worldly life. I also desire Moksha, which is the real essence of your teachings. Oh! Jineshvar Bhagawan, all the heavenly deities also offer obeisance to you. You are the root cause of ultimate and everlasting bliss. You are the best vehicle through which one can attain Moksha. You have exposed and then destroyed wrong viewpoints, through your preaching. Oh! Jineshvar Bhagawan, I am bowing down to your preaching, which are the refuge even for scholars and which are the best in all three realms...... ........................... 3. Oh! Saraswati Devi, holding a lotus in one hand and books in the other; and seated on a lotus flower, please bless me. You are as beautiful as jasmine flower, and a full moon. Your complexion is as white as cow's milk and fresh snow. Please bestow upon me ultimate happiness. 4.
