Chapter - 1 Verse - 71
**Meaning:** One who knows the nature, destruction, etc. of the soul. The word "Dheer" is an epithet, meaning one who gives joy (rati) to the intellect (dhi) of all the worthy ones. "Kevalgyan" is the special knowledge, the knowledge of the form of special understanding (visheshavabodharoopa). "Kevaldarshan" is the knowledge that is known (gyanate), the knowledge of the form of general understanding (samanavabodharoopa). One who is endowed with both of these. One who illuminates the fourteen-stringed world (loka) with the illumination of the substance (dravyaodyota) and the illumination of the Kevala-light (kevalalokabhavodyota), and thus illuminates the world (lokoodyotakara) always. May he direct, may he do, the destruction (kshaya) of all the miseries (durita), all the sins (papa), all the karmas. When "Veer" is read in the alternative reading, then it means one who inspires (ireyate), motivates (prereyate) the eight types of karma, and is a Veeracharama-tirthakrit. This is the word to be qualified (visheshya), the rest are the qualifiers (visheshana). In this text, the name of the author (shastrakara) is also secretly revealed (guptamunta). Because, even of this "Prakirnak" (collection of verses), Veerabhadra is heard to be the good author (sadhu karta) in the "Bhaktaparijna" (knowledge of devotees) written by him. It is known from the over-emphasis (atideshakarana) in the study of this text that he is the author of this also. This is the meaning. || 71 ||

**Gunaratna Suri's Commentary:**
Dheer is one who rules (rajate) with intellect (dhi), a Tirthakrit, one who knows (vetti) old age and death (jaramarana), the end of old age (vridhatvanidhana). Dheer is one who gives joy (rati) to the intellect (dhi) of all the worthy ones. "Kevalgyan" is the special knowledge (vishistam gyanam), "Kevaldarshan" is the knowledge that is known (gyanate), the same knowledge in the form of general understanding (samanavabodharoopa). One who is endowed with both of these. One who illuminates the fourteen-stringed world (loka) with the illumination of the substance (dravyaodyota) and the illumination of the Kevala-light (kevalalokabhavodyota), and thus illuminates the world (lokoodyotakara) always. May he direct, may he do, the destruction (
