11: VĪRASTAVA PRAKĪRNAKA
10. PĀRAGĀMĪ
(O' Lord!) you are said to be Pāragāmī - transcended because you have transcended the most circuitous cycle of births and deaths as well as all karmic bondage or because you have completely realised the oceah of canonical knowledge as well as everything about everything worth knowing.
11. TRIKĀLAVIJÑA
(O' Lord!) you are known as Trikālavijña - Knower of three times (past, present and future) - because you know all the modes of all the substances of the past, present and the future as one can see the Amalaka fruit placed on the palm of one's hand.
12. NATHA
(O' Lord!) you are the protector of the helpless as you guide and save the worldly creatures, drowning in the fearful ocean of mundane existence, by preaching the liberating faith to them. Therefore you are said to be Nätha - the protector.
13. VĪTARĀGA
Attachment is nothing but attraction towards the auspicious and pleasurable objects and its opposite, i.e. revulsion towards the inauspicious and painful objects, is aversion. Because, you are, O' Lord! free from such attachment and aversion, you are known as Vītarāga.
When their pride is destroyed, the principal gods like the Brahmā, Visņu, Mahādeva and Sūrya, etc, too, bow at your feet. Even then O' Jina! you remain unaffected. Therefore you are Vītarāga - attachment transcended.
