लघुतत्त्वस्फोट:
O Vardhamana! You are one who has become the very embodiment of imperishable (i. e. pure) consciousness (i. e. omniscience), and who is the doer (i. e. the knower) of the transformations of all existents, (existents which are characterized by) origination (of a new mode), destruction (of an old mode), and permanence (of the substance). You are the agent (of the act of knowing), but you are neither the doer nor the knower (i. e. you are not the agent when seen from the point of view of non-distinction between substance and quality). You are indeed knowledge, endowed with the splendours (that accompany omniscience). What is this light of yours? It is truly marvellous to us! (24) [24]
ये भावयन्त्यविकलावतीं जिनानां नामावलीममृतचन्द्रचिदेकपीताम् । विश्वं पिबन्ति सकलं किल लीलयैव पीयन्त एव न कदाचन ते परेण ||२५||

Those who reflect upon the garland (i. e. series) of names of these Jinas, (a garland) which is endowed with perfect meaning and which is received by the pure consciousness of Amrtacandra (i. e. the author of this work), will surely, without great effort, cognize this entire universe (i. e. become omniscient). They will never be held (in bondage) by others (i. e. by such externals as karma, etc.). (25) [25] I
