26 SANSAR-DAVA
Like water, extinguishing the ever-raging fire of this Samsara Like a wind, cleaning the dust of ignorance Like a sharp-toothed Harow, clearing the Soil of Sin Like a Mount Meru, O Lord! thou art Noble and great. O Mahavir, I bow to you.
Thee. I bow, O Jina, whose crown is decorated beautifully with lotus-petal-design and who has fulfilled the noblest desires of his devotees. I bow O, Jin-Raj as Gods and Goddess too bow to you.
I worship, I adore that deep sea of knowledge in which lies the essence of all scriptures.
I worship too, the Goddess of scriptures, beautiful, charming, moon-hearted; she has a lotus flower in her hand and she is seated on a decorated, lotus shaped seat. She is wearing a garland of fragrant makrand flowers. This Goddess of knowledge, I praise.
