Translation:
I shall devotionally sing the praise of all the 24 Arihamtas who have isolated their souls from karmic matter, illuminated the entire universe (by their relieving knowledge), founded the Path of Religion and conquered attachment and aversion. (1)
I salute respectfully Rṣabha, Ajita, Sambhava, Abhinandana and Sumati. I devotionally bow down to Padmaprabhu, Supärśvajina and Candraprabhu. I pay divine honours to Suvidhi, Puspadanta, Śītala, Śreyāmsa, Väsupūjya, Vimala, Ananta, Dharma and Sānti. I pay reverential obeisance to Kumthu, Ara, Malli, Munisuvrata and Namijina. I devotionally bow down to Ariṣṭanemi, Pārśva and Vardhamana. (2-4).
Thus devotionally praised by me all the 24 Jinavaras ( = Supreme
