With this background, let us first remember the blissful Navkar Mantra and other Mängliks so as to complete this work without any difficulty. * Namo Arihantänam
(Obeisance to the omniscient Lords) Namo Siddhänam (Obeisance to the liberated souls) Namo Äyariyanam (Obeisance to the heads of religious order) Namo Uvazzäyänam (Obeisance to the masters of scriptures) Namo Loe Savva Sähoonam (Obeisance to all the monks in the universe) Eso Panch Namukkaro, Savva Pävappanäsano, Mangalänam Cha Savvesim, Padhamam Havai Mangalam. (This fivefold obeisance is eradicator of all sins and is the foremost among all blissful aspects) Sahajätma Swarup Paramguru. (This means : Abiding at ease in Selfis characteristic of the Supreme Guru. Alternately it means: One's own Self, pure and natural, is his supreme Guru or teacher) Mahä Divyähä Kukshiratnam Shabdajit Ravätmajam Räjachandramaham Vande Tattvalochan Dayakam. [I bow to Shrimad Räjchandra, the master of words, the jewel born of the womb of mother Devbai (great divinity), the son of Ravajibhäi and bestower of spiritual eyesight] Ajnäna Timirändhänäm Jnänänjana Shalakaya, Chakshurunmilitam Yena Tasmai Shri Gurave Namah. (I bow to the graceful Guru, who opened with the anointing stick of enlightenment, my eyes blinded by darkness of ignorance).
