YASASTILAKA AND INDIAN CULTURE
the sages of old for the attainment of salvation. It is a wishing gem in granting one's desires, an abode of beauty and luck, a ceremonial wristlet for the wedding of the goddess of prosperity, and a meeting-place of family glory, might and health.
ARHADBHAKTI
ध्यानाव को कविगल त्तिमिरप्रताने तां देव केवलमयीं श्रियमादधाने । आसीत् त्वयि त्रिभुवनं मुहुरुत्सवाय व्यापारमन्थरमिवैकपुरं महाय ॥
When thou wast assuming the glory of infinite knowledge, O Lord, and the expanse of Darkness was receding before the Light of thy meditation, the entire world stood motionless, ready for continuous rejoicings, like a city preparing for a festival.
त्वं सर्वदोषरहितः सुनयं वचस्ते सत्वानुकम्पनपरः सकलो विधिश्व ।
लोकस्तथापि यदि तुष्यति न त्वयीश कर्मास्य तन्ननु रवाविव कौशिकस्य ॥
Thou art free from all blemishes, thy words are well-principled, and all thy acts are inspired by compassion for sentient beings. If the world still doth not delight in thee, O Lord, its action is verily like that of the owl in regard to the sun.
मिथ्यामहान्धतमसावृतमप्रबोधमेतत् पुरा जगदभूद्भव गर्तपाति ।
तदेव दृष्टिहृदयाविकासकान्तैः स्याद्वादरश्मिभिरथोद्धृतवांस्त्वमेव ॥
In times of yore the world, without enlightenment, was enveloped in the cimmerian darkness of false belief, and submerged in the ravine of worldly existence. It is thou who saved it, O Lord, with the rays of the Syadvada doctrine, delightful by reason of their opening the lotus blossoms of men's eyes and hearts.
SIDDHABHAKTI
सम्यग्ज्ञानत्रयेण प्रविदित निखिलज्ञेयतश्वप्रपञ्चाः प्रोडूय ध्यानवातैः सकलमघरजः प्राप्तकवल्यरूपाः । कृत्वा सवोपकारं त्रिभुवनपतिभिर्दत्तयात्रोत्सवा ये ते सिद्धाः सन्तु लोकत्रय शिखरपुरवासिनः सिद्धये वः ॥ May the emancipated saints inhabiting the crest of the three worlds grant ye success! With the three kinds of perfect knowledge,' they have comprehended the entire range of the knowable truths, and attained omniscience by sweeping away all dust of sins with the breeze of meditation. The lords of the universe celebrate festivals in their honour on the completion of their mission of doing good to all living creatures.
दानज्ञानचरित्र संयमनय प्रारम्भगर्भ मनः कृत्वान्तर्बहिरिन्द्रियाणि मरुतः संयम्य पञ्चापि च ।
पश्चाद्वीत विकल्पजालमखिलं भ्रश्यत्तमः संतति ध्यानं तत् प्रविधाय ये च मुमुचुस्तेभ्योऽपि बद्धोऽञ्जलिः ॥ I fold my hands in obeisance to those who attained final deliverance, after
1 अवधि ( direct knowledge of matter), मन:पर्यय ( direct knowledge of another's mental activity) and केवल (omniscience).
