21. saMsAra-dAvA-nalastuti - Sansara-Dava-Nala Stuti 21. Introduction In this sutra, we pray tothe eternally beneficial Lord Mahavira, all Tirthankars, Scriptures, and Saraswati Devi. The first two verses are respectful salutation (vandana) to Mahavira swami and all the Tirthankars; the third verse to the Scriptures, and the fourth verse to Goddess of Learning, Saraswati Devi. Acharya Shri Haribhadra Suriji composed this stuti. He passed away at the moment when he had just finished the first line of 4th verse. His congregation composed the last three lines; therefore all participants recite together the last three lines loudly during pratikramana. 21. saMsAra-dAvA-nalastuti saMsAra-dAvA-nala-dAha-nIraM, saMmoha-dhUlI-haraNe samIraM. mAyA-rasA-dAraNa-sAra-sIraM, namAmi vIraM giri-sAra-dhIraM. bhAvA-vanAma-sura-dAnava-mAnavena, cUlA-vilola-kamalA-vali-mAlitAni. saMpUritA-bhinata-loka-samIhitAni, kAmaM namAmi jinarAja-padAni tAni.. bodhAgAdhaM supada-padavI-nIra-pUrAbhirAmaM, jIvA-hiMsA-virala-laharI-saMgamA-gAha-dehaM. cUlA-velaM guru-gama-maNI-saMkulaM dUra-pAraM, sAraM-vIrA-gama-jala-nidhiM sAdaraM sAdhu seve....

You remove ignorance the way wind blows off dust. You get rid of delusions the way a sharp plough tears through the ground of deceit. 1 I bow faithfully at the feet of all Tirthankars, who fulfill the wishes of all devotees including the kings of heavenly gods such as Surendras, Devendras and Narendras, whose crowns are decorated with garlands made of lotus flowers. ....................... 2 I adore with respect the spiritual contents of the scriptures of Mahavira swami, which are like an ocean of boundless knowledge and wisdom, whose beautiful verses are like a fascinating pool of water, its waves full of subtle concepts of non-violence and its tides intertwined with lessons of doctrines and jewels of wisdom, which are difficult to fully understand.. 3 O Goddess Saraswati! With your extremely beautiful complexion, holding a lotus flower in one hand, sparkling necklaces adoring your neck, seated on a bed of lotus flower of such sweet fragrance that flocks of bees fly around it; bestow upon me the boon of shruta gyan (knowledge of scriptures) in the form of salvation.
