Publisher's Note We have set-up 'Jaina-Granthagar' to publish and distribute important Jain literature in a proper way. Our motto is to develope this centre as an unique-one where every important book of Jainism will be available. We are also planning for exhibitions, seminars and workshops to promote Jain literature. We have published many important works. Our all published works are warmly welcomed by reputed scholars and common readers. Now we are publishing a series of 'Gems of Jaina Wisdom'. Present volume is ninth in the series. This volume contains an important work - DashaBhakti of Acharya Devanandi alias Pujyapada. First time we are publishing its english version. I hope, this publication will also be recognised and appreciated. It is very sad to say that most of research works in the field of Jainalogy done in the various universities are lying still unpublished. It is acute duty of the responsible persons of our society to co-operate in this field, so that these manuscripts can be brought into light. We are planning to publish a series of Jain research works. I cordially invite and request you to join us and give your precious and encouraging co-operations to fulfill this holy desire. - Meghraj Jain 'Garg' Secretary, Jain Granthagar-Delhi

Preface The work in hand is the English translation of "Dasha Bhakti" written by Acharya shri Pujyapada alias Devnandi in Sanskrit. The prakrita portion of these eulogies is the work of Acharya shri Kundkunda. The list of twelve eulogies which have been translated are 1. Iryapatha Bhakti (Eulogy of walking). 2. Siddha Bhakti (Eulogy of the bodyless pure & perfect soul) 3. Chetya Bhakti (Eulogy of shrines) 4. Shruta Bhakti (Eulogy of scriptures) 5. Charitra Bhakti (Eulogy of right conduct) 6. Yogi Bhakti (Eulogy of ascetics) 7. Acharya Bhakti (Eulogy of heads of order of saints) 8. Pancha Guru Bhakti (Eulogy of five supreme beings) 9. Shanti Bhakti (Eulogy of Lord Shantinath) 10. Samadhi Bhakti (Eulogy of union with self) 11. Nirvan Bhakti (Eulogy of salvation). 12. Nandiswara Bhakti (Eulogy of Nandiswara Island) Of these twelve Eulogy "Samadhi Bhakti" (Eulogy of union with self) and Panch Mahaguru Bhakti" (Eulogy of Five Supreme Beings) are not included in Dasha-Bhaktis (ten eulogies) of Acharya shri Pujyapada. The work in hand is based upon "Vimal-Bhakti" (Vimal Jnana Prabodhini Tika) by pujya Aryika shri Syadavadamati Mataji. Digambar Munis and Aaryikas must necessarily practice six essentials (Shata-Avashyaka) everyday. Of these six essential duties, one is that of pratikraman (expiation). Each and every Saint and Aaryika has got to pointedly and specifically tell to his/her preceptor about the faults which he/she may have committed throughout the day and not only repent for them but also request punishment to be given therefore. His/her Acharya listening the faults so commited by the disciple concerned, suggest remedial measures therefore which the disciple is bound to translate into action. Pratikramana (expiation) is the process of the purification of soul by means of negation of the effects of faults so

Page #7
commited by the saints and Aaryikas. In other words, pratikramana/expiation means and includes the process of purification of volitions. Each and every Saint/Aaryika must practice pratikramana irrespective of the facts that he/she has commited or not any faults. The conduct of a Saints/ Aaryika includes recitation of eulogies alongwith that of pratikramana such recitation of eulogies forms a part and parcel of his/her daily routine. Acharya shri Amitagati in his "Laghu Samayak Patha" says, "Oh Goddess Saraswati! please bestow upon me (or bless me) with enlightenment, union with self, purity of volitions, attainmnt of myself, achievement of the bliss of salvation. Also bless me with "Chintamani" (the gem which yields all that what so ever is asked). In this sloka Acharya Amitagati has given proper importance to the purity of volitions (Parinama-shuddhi) without which purification and perfection of soul or salvation is not at all possible. "Pratikraman" is i.e. why has been prescribed to be observed as an essential duty; as it leads to purification of volitions (parinama-shuddhi). Acharya Kundkund Swami gives utmost importance to purity of volitions and he has composed separate "Pahuda" named 'Bhava Pahuda' on this subject. In 'Bhava Pahuda' Acharya shri maintains that all merits & demerits are caused by volitions. He emphatically asserts that a saint can not attain salvation in case he does not nourish and reflect upon the nature of soul. Such a saint shall not attain salvation by adopting Digambar posture and hanging his hands and performing hard and difficult austerities for billions of life spans. Acharya Amitagati in his "Laghu Samayika Patha" says "bodhi samAdhi pariNAma zuddhi svaatmoplbdhi| ziva saukhya siddhi, ciMtAmaNiM ciMtita-vastu mAne / car4 GTFT 44TFCL, aditii" (TEL HTHTTC TO) "Dash Bhaktis (ten eulogies) named above are recited by digambar saints and Aaryikas. Of these eulogies, three named Siddha Bhakti, Shruta-Bhakti and Acharya-Bhakti are recited by saints three times a day. Pancha-Mahaguru-Bhakti Gems of Jaina Wisdom-IX 5

is recited two times of day by them. Moreover when Varshayoga stay in (four months or rainy season at one place) is established by saints, they as a rule, recite seven euologiesIrya-path Bhakti, Siddha-Bhakti, Acharya-Bhakti, ShrutaBhakti, Shanti-Bhakti, Chaitya-Bhakti, Pancha-MahaguruBhakti. Nandiswara-Bhakti is recited on Ashtanhika-Parvas which is celebrated continuously for eight days of Parva. Hence these ten eulogies have got their own importance. The nature and contents of euologies in Jain religion is much different from that of eulogies in other religions. It is so because the concept of God in Jainology is different from that in other religions. ...According to Acharya Pujyapada-Devotion (bhakti) is attachment with-Arhat (embodied pure souls), Acharya (head of the order of saints), Upadhyayaa (preceptor) and other highly learned saints and the utterances of Jinas (victors) with pure thought-actions. According to another definition, "Devotion is attachment with the virtues or merits of God." Devotion should be absolutely pure/untainted; it should have no concern with any impurity or impurities e.g. the fulfillment of any desire or achievement of some objective or target or satisfaction of some want. Acharya Kundkunda in "Bhava Pahud" says, "Persons who bow down and pay obeisence to the lotus-feet of shri Jinendra deva with extreme devotion-succeed in outrooting the creeper of mundane existence." Be it remembered that the Jina (the victor) is fully nonattached/dispassionate and remains totally unconcerned with the tendency of being worshipped or eulogized by his devotees- what soever and who soever they be. He does no good to his devotees; nor does he inflict any injury or punishment upon his opponents. He is over and above all that. It is not Jina- who helps his devotees; It is rather the purity of the thoughts and attitudes of the devotees which result from the recollection or reflection of and contemplation upon Jina that make his devotees, competent 6 Gems of Jaina Wisdom-IX

to attain supreme status. The Jina/Arhat/Siddha is not an active factor. It does not directly interfere this way or that way. As a matter of fact he (Jina) is indirectly instrumental in showing or leading to the path of liberation and inspiring his devotees to that effect. Acharya Samantabhadra has mentioned it in one of his verses. The same thing has been explained by Mahakavi Dhananjaya. Devotion to God is not a means to an end; it is an end in itself. The right type of devotees or true devotees never expect anything in return, by way of compensation or consideration. They rather want more and more devotio nothing but devotion. That is why Mahakavi Dhananjaya, in "Visapahar-stotra" says, The devotee who follows you, obtain pleasure because of his devotion to you and the person who believes adversely (i.e. against your directions) gets involved in miseries, your position is that of a mirror, which is effluent/lustrous and which remains so forever and which faces the two (i.e. the devotee and the otherwise), looking into which both can realize themselves and know the truth. In case you so desire or you insist upon me to pray for any boon, my praye. would be "Let me remain (or may I be) devoted and absorbed in you" I believe that you would oblige me by conferring that boon upon me. What learned teacher does not favour his taught, who is worthy to support him (teacher). Such devotion is very effective; and it gives the devotee, all he wants. Such a devotee is already non-attached and does not nourish any desire. He is absolutely desireless. His devotion further strengthens his desirelessness, leading him to salvation. According to a western thinker, Prayer must never be answered; if it is, it is not prayer. It is correspondence. Some Sufi saints has pointedly said, and explained this idea, in a verse, which says, "I am not prepared to accept the pleasures of heavens, as a consideration or compensation of my devotion to God; as I am a devotee and not a labourer or a merchant, who indulges in give and take." Gems of Jaina Wisdom-IX 7

The devotees express their innerself in prayers and eulogies. Eulogy has been said to be more effective than worship. Eulogy is billion-times more effective than worship. The tongue is tongue only when it is used in eulogising the Jina. The saints or seers, who eulogise and pray always succeed in getting good results. According to Acharya Pujyapada devotion is attachment with Arhat, Acharya, Upadhyaya and other highly learned saints or seers, who eulogies and pray always succeed in getting good results. Parampujya Devanandi has been one of the most learned Digambaracharya of fifth-sixth century AD. Pandit Nathuram Premi is of the opinion that Acharya shri Pujyapada flourished in the first half of six century of vikram era. Yudisthar-meemanshaka is also of the same opinion. According to Dr. Jyoti Prasad Jain- Acharya shri Pujyapada flourished in between 464-524A.D. In support of his view he has given a good number of evidences. Be it remember that there are certain scholars who are of the opinion that shri Pujyapada flourished in 4th century B.C. Acharya shri Pujyapada was born in a prestigious Brahman family. His father was shri Madhav Bhatta and mother Shridevi. This family lived in a village Kole of Karnataka. Once upon a time in his childhood he happened to see a restless and fluttering frog being eaten by a snake which aroused in him the sense of renunciation. "Shri Pujyapada charite" gives all the necessary details of his life and works. The famous book named "Raja-bali-katha" specifically mentions that Acharya Devasen belonged to Nandi-sangha, Balatkar-gana and Saraswati-gaccha, which belong to "Moolasangha". This gurvavali mentions the names of Acharyas named Magha-nandi, Jina-chandra, Padama-nandi (Kundkunda), Umaswami, Lohacharya, Yashakirti. Yashanandi and Devanandi. All these names find place in the pattavali of the nandi-sangha in serially. 8 Gems of Jaina Wisdom-IX

Acharya shri Pujyapada is said to be have been capable to move in the sky by getting the soles of his feet embalmed by some ointment. He visited a number of pilgrim centers in this way. It is said that he lost his eyesight on way to some pilgrim center, which he recovered by composing the verses of "Shanti-Shatak." Acharya Pujyapada has been highly renowned as a great philosopher, poet, grammarian and medical scientist. His commentary on Tattvartha-Sutra of Acharya Umaswami named Sarvarth-Siddhi is considered to be the top most commentary of all the commentaries there of. It is said that the study of "Sarvartha-Siddhi" enables a saint to attain the celestial grade after Samadhi-marana and become god in the heaven named Sarvartha-Siddhi. After enjoying the celestial pleasures of Sarvartha-Siddhi, the soul attains human grade and there after the soul attains salvation (liberation) from Karmic bondage and becomes pure and perfect i.e. a Siddha. Acharya shri Pujyapada has been eulogized and applauded by a large number of Digambar Acharyas. Acharya Jinsena in his Adipurana says, "Acharya Devanandi who was equal to a Tirthankar amongst poets, holy water of his feet cleans the impurities of speech of the learned person, he is one whose eulogy can not be properly done by any." Acharya Jinasen- in his "Harivansh-Purana" says- why are not the compositions of Acharya shri Devanandiworshipable by gods- adorable and worshippable which exhibits/display Indra (lord of gods), Chandra (moon). Arka (Sun) and Jainendra-vyakaran (grammar). Similarly Acharya Shubh-Chandra in his standard work on meditation named "Jnanarnavah" says, "I sincerely pay my respect to Acharya Devanandi, whose shastra is capable to remove all the impurities of the bodies, speech and mind of mundane souls." There is a notable inscription in "Shravana-belgola" of Karnataka, which mentions two other names of Acharya shri Deva-nandi - (1) Jinendrabuddhi and (2) Pujya-pada, His name was Devanandi in the beginning; he was called Gems of Jaina Wisdom-IX - 9

Page #12
Jinendrabuddhi because of his perfect intelleet like that of shri Jinendra deva and he was termed Pujyapada because his lotus feet were worshipped by gods. Parampujya Devanandi has been one of the most learned Digambaracharya of Fifth-Sixth century A.D. His famous works are- (1) Dasha-Bhakti (2) Janmabhiseka (3) Tattavarth-vritti, (4) Jinendra-Vyakarana, (5) Samadhitantra, (6) Istopadesha. We consider it our pious duty to express our extreme heart felt gratitude to pujya Aaryikaratna shri Syadvadmati ji without whose Hindi translation and commentary as givon: in "Vimal Bhakti, Prabhodini tika", we could not prepare the English version of all the ten Bhakties. We also express heart felt gratitude to Smt. Dr. Chandraprabha Jain for assisting us in preparing this manuscript. We also thank for Dr. Mayank Jain who has also helped us a lot in this work. In the end, we acknowledge the great and kind assistant and co-operation of Ashok Sahajanand (Chief editor : 'SahajAnand'), Kusum Jain (Editor : 'Nansayar') and Meghraj Jain (Manager: Jain Granthagar), without whose active support, our efforts would not assumed such a fine useful form. . - Dasrath Jain Prof. P.C.

Such conduct had become necessary rather indispensible in order to get rid of the vicious circle of birth, oldage and death.
