This stuti was composed by the famous Shriman Haribhadrasuri Maharaj. It contains praises of Mahavirswami, praises of all the Tirthankars and of all the agams (scriptures). It is recited by women to show their happiness after completing the Pratikrman. As repentence for some fault committed, Haribhadrasuri Maharaj was supposed to compose 1,444 granths (books). But after completing 1,440 granths, he realized that he did not have enough time as he foresaw his death approaching. So he composed these four verses in the place of the last four granths.
