May the Arahantas who are the annihilators of the dense obscuring Karmas (psycho-physical impurities), who are like the sun for the lotus of releasable souls existent in the three worlds, who possess infinite knolwedge and also experience unique bliss, be victorious in the world. May the Siddhas who are devoid of eight Karmas** (psychophysical impurities) by whom all the purposes have been accomplished, by whom ( their own) reincarnations in the world have been put to an end, by whom the essence of all the substances has been known, show me the path to liberation. May the Ācāryas who have acquired exalted position by observing five Mahāvratas (complete vows), who possess contemporary knowledge of their own faith and that of others and who have been saturated with diverse clusters of virtues, do good to me. May the Upadhyāyas who are the illuminators of the mundane souls wandering in the dense darkness of ignorance which is difficult to cross, impart supreme understanding (to me). May the Sadhus who abound in glory, by whom the garland of virtues has been steadily sustained, by whom attachment has been cast aside and by whom the parts of the body have been adorned with immense modesty, bestow happiness on me. Arahantas, Asariras (Siddhas), Ācāryas, Upādhyāyas and Munis are the five holy personalities (spiritual pillars ). Omkara has emerged from the first letters (A+ A+ A+ U + M) of the five holy personalities.
