"Beloved of gods! Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir who is the first propounder of the shrut dharma (Jainism) of his time (aaigare or aadikar); the religious ford-maker or founder of the four-fold religious order (Titthagare or Tirthankar); -and so on up to-the aspirant of and destined to attain the state of ultimate perfection (siddha gai or siddha gati), wandering from one village to another has arrived here. He has taken his lodge according to the ascetic code and has settled down enkindling (bhaavit) his soul with ascetic-discipline and austerities.
Beloved of gods! This is highly beneficial for us. Not to speak of being able to go near him, pay homage to him, bow to him, ask questions to him, worship him, and avail of his company, mere hearing of his name and lineage is highly meritorious. Not to speak of the benefits of listening to his complete sermon, even a single pious word uttered by him is a great boon.
Therefore, O beloved of gods! It would be good for us to go there and pay homage to Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir. Let us convey our obeisance by quintuple bowing (a specific posture of squatting and bending forward bowing head, two hands and two knees). Let us greet him and convey our respect with devotion and great honour. Bhagavan is the embodiment of beatitude and piety. He is the god of gods and pilgrimage personified. Let us go there to worship him and sit near him. This act of obeisance will prove to be beneficial, blissful, peace giving and means of salvation for us in this, next and following births."
