19: VĪRASTAVA PRAKĪRNAKA
39.
23. HARI O'Kamalālaya (the abode of Laksmi, the goddess of wealth)! the palms of your hands bear the signs of conchshell, wheel and bow and you had showered charity (during year long charity just before taking the monastic vows). Therefore, O' Jineśvara (master conqueror) ! you are known as Hari
40.
24. HARA O’Lord ! you neither bear Khatvārga (Siva's weapon) nor is your throat blue (Nīlakantha). Still you are known as Hara (the remover) because you remove the inner as well as the outer karma-dust of the creatures.
41.
25. KAMALĀSANA O’Lord ! you are Kamalāsana (Brahmā) as well. While seated in the Samavasarana (hall of discourse) you appear to be facing in four directions, you are endowed with four faces depicted by four religious practices of charity, etc. You move like a swan (because you move in the utmost state of monasticism).
42.
26. BUDDHA Because, by virtue of your supreme and pure knowledge (omniscience), you simultaneously know all the general and particular modes of all the animate and inanimate matter, you are known as Buddha, the enlightened.
