**Kevali-pannatto dhammo mangalam.**
**Meaning:** There are four auspicious things in the world.
(1) Arihant Bhagwan is auspicious.
(2) Siddha Bhagwan is auspicious.
(3) Sadhu-Maharaj is auspicious.
(4) Dharma, in the form of the omniscient, is auspicious.
**Worldly and transcendental auspiciousness.** Curd, rice, and garlands of flowers.
**Discussion:** Auspiciousness is of two types. The first is worldly auspiciousness. The Arihant, etc., mentioned in the sutras, are transcendental auspiciousness. Worldly auspiciousness is not absolute or ultimate auspiciousness. Therefore, the great souls who are devoted to spirituality and self-realization have sought out transcendental auspiciousness, separate from worldly auspiciousness. Transcendental auspiciousness is never inauspicious. Worldly auspiciousness, filled with worldly entanglements, has never brought lasting peace to anyone, nor will it ever. What kind of auspiciousness is it if it does not bring lasting joy? Therefore, transcendental auspiciousness is the true auspiciousness.
**[Essential Sutra]**
In the four auspicious things presented here, the first two are ideal forms. The ultimate goal of our life is to attain the Arihant and finally the Siddha state. Arihant and Siddha are the ideal forms of perfect self-purification, i.e., enlightenment, and are auspicious, while Sadhu is the ideal form of spiritual practice. The Sadhu state includes Acharya and Upadhyaya.
Finally, Dharma-mangal comes. The establishment of the previous states is due to its influence or the fruit of Dharma. The power of Dharma is supreme.
