Sutra Meaning: I wish for permission from the spiritual preceptor, to pay my obeisance to forbearing monks (kshmashramana). I pay my respect to the five supreme beings, Arihanta, Siddha, Acharya, Upadhyaya and Sadhus. I pay my obeisance to Lord Mahavira, who after winning a constant struggle with karmas, achieved liberation which is beyond the comprehension of wrong believers. 1. Let the Peaceful liberators always be our benefactors. Their feet are soft like lotus flowers. When they walk on the golden lotuses created by heavenly gods, the flowers are delighted. May the Jineshvars bestow Moksha.. Let the words spoken through the mouth of Tirthankars, which are like the first rainfall at the beginning of the monsoon season, and the words of the chief disciple (Gandhara) bring peace and tranquility to me. 3. ....... 2
