200 • A Treasure House of Names
495. The Greatest Quality (Mahagun): The pure soul is the abode of infinite properties of knowledge, faith, conduct, happiness, etc. This greatest quality is owned by the pure soul.
496. Greatest Lord of Greatest Worship (Mahamahapati): Worshipping idols or other objects do not lead to any tangible benefit if the purpose is not realisation of pure soul. The greatest Lordship and the greatest worship is rendered to the pure soul.
497. The Greatest Five-Fold Benediction (Prapt-mahaKalyan-Panchak): The pure souls, in their penultimate life, have five greatest benedictions at the time of conception, birth, renunciation, enlightenment (omniscience) and Moksha. Many great souls derive the greatest inspiration from these benedictions.
498. The Greatest God (Mahaprabhu): The religious propounders, heavenly beings, and people who render unbelievable service to humanity, etc., are all often called Gods. However, all such great things happen in the life of those who achieve salvation. Hence, the pure soul is the greatest God of all.
499. The Lord of Greatest Wonders (Mahapratiharyadhish): When the greatest preachers/Tirthankaras achieve the status of omniscience, the heavenly Gods create and build a wonderful stage with divine pearls and diamonds, such as divine lotus-like sitting place, the divine tree, radiant glow behind the face, the divine trumpet, the divine whiskers/flappers, the divine three umbrellas, shower divine flowers and divine sound without any language.
500. The Lord of Greatest Grandeur (Mahesvar): Its glory across the universe and its treasure of infinite properties – all make the pure soul the Lord of greatest grandeur in the Universe.
