Having praised the Muni in this way, Ravana bowed down to him thrice, circumambulated him, and, utterly condemning himself, wept with a face full of sorrow. ||173|| Filled with shame and detached from worldly attachments, the son of Kaikasi entered the Jain temple near the Muni. ||174|| Throwing his sword, Chandras, on the ground in disregard, he, accompanied by his wives, performed worship to the Jina. ||175|| Pulling the string of his arm, which was like a musical instrument, he played the Veena and praised the Jina with hundreds of hymns. ||176|| "Salutations to you, the Lord of Lords, the observer of all worlds, who have transcended all worlds with your brilliance, who are fulfilled, the great soul. ||177|| You are worshipped by the three worlds, you have destroyed the great enemy, delusion. You are the holder of a multitude of qualities beyond the reach of words. ||178|| You are endowed with great power, the guide to the path of liberation, rich in the ultimate happiness, you have removed all evil. ||179|| You are the cause of liberation and prosperity for all beings, the root of great auspiciousness, the creator of all actions. ||180|| You have burnt all sins with the fire of meditation, you are the destroyer of birth, the Guru, you have no Guru, all bow down to you, and you bow down to none. ||181|| You are free from beginning and end, you are a continuous, eternal yogi, your ultimate truth is unknown, but you know all ultimate truths. ||182|| You have declared the soul to be devoid of all attachments, you have taught the doctrine of existence for all. You have shown that all things are momentary according to the Nayavada, and you have also shown that all things are eternal according to the Dravyavada. ||183|| You have said that our soul is a single, undivided substance, distinct from all external objects. You are the advocate of the Anekantavada for all, the conqueror of all enemies, the knower of all things, therefore, you are the one who grants liberation. ||184||
Those who have abandoned worldly attachments and are established in the path of liberation are blessed souls, they are powerful, and they dwell near the liberated Lakshmi. ||172||
