પંચ પરમેષ્ઠિને નમસ્કાર Namorhat-siddha-chāryopadhyāya-sarva-sādhubhyah. (1)
I am bowing down to Arihant Bhagawan, Siddha Bhagawan, Ächarya Mahārāj, Upadhyāy Mahārāj, and all Sadhu and Sadhvi Mahārāj. (1)
In this Sutra, obeisance is offered to the Five Supreme Entities. This Sutra was composed by Acharya Shree Siddhasen Diwakar Suri, who is credited with composition of many other valuable Sanskrit works of Jainism. This Sutra in its real essence is a mini Navakär Mantra. It is usually recited prior to reciting any Stuti, Stavan or before performing many important rituals. It is only to be recited by men.
SNATASYA NI THOY-1
મહાવીર પ્રભુના જન્માભિષેકની સ્તુતિ Snatasyaa pratimasya meru shikhare, shachyaa vibhoho shaishave;
Rupalokan vismayarhat ras bhrantya bhramchchakshusha; Unmrushtam nayan prabha dhavalitam
kshirodakashankaya;
Vaktram yasya punah punah sa jayati shri Vardhamano jinah. (1)
This stuti describes the Janmabhishek of Mahavir Prabhu. Mahavir Prabhu was given his first bath on Meru mountain. Everyone was surprised by His unique beauty and the Indrayani with restless eyes kept wiping His glowing face, suspecting that it was glowing because it was still wet, May such Vardhamanswami attain victory.

(સ્તુતિ બોલનાર સ્તુતિ પૂરી કરે એટલે કાઉસ્સગ્ગ કરનાર સહુ ધીમા અવાજે ‘નમો અરિહંતાણં’ બોલીને પારે.)
