________________ Verse 128 खरपानहापनामपि कृत्वा कृत्वोपवासमपि शक्त्या। पञ्चनमस्कारमनास्तनुं त्यजेत्सर्वयत्नेन ॥१२८ ॥ सामान्यार्थ - गर्म जल का भी त्याग करके शक्ति के अनुसार उपवास भी करके पूर्ण तत्परता से पञ्चनमस्कार मंत्र में मन लगाता हुआ शरीर को छोड़े। Thereafter, abandoning even hot water he should, to the extent of his strength, observe fasting and give up his body while contemplating in every possible way on the sacred mantra that makes obeisance to the five Supreme Beings. EXPLANATORY NOTE Ācārya Nemicandra's Dravyasamgraha: One must meditate on this supreme mantra, of thirty-five letters, that makes obeisance to the five Supreme Beings (pañca parameşthī), and having the power to purge souls of all karmic dust: णमो अरिहंताणं णमो सिद्धाणं णमो आयरियाणं । णमो उवज्झायाणं णमो लोए सव्व साहूणं ॥ All deified souls in this world have attained liberation through the adoration of this mantra only. By the power of this mantra, the soul soiled with karmic mire gets sanitized and the wise gets rid of the worldly sufferings. This mantra is a friend, like no other, in the hour of need, of all souls desirous of achieving liberation. There are umpteen narrations in Jaina Scriptures that even animals who had earlier committed dreadful sins, including himsā of many living beings, have achieved heavenly abodes 207
