Since the Jivas ( persons ) absorbed in the law of Jina (spiritually victorious) cross the infinite ocean of transmigratory existence, may that law of Jina which is the refuge of all beings flourish perpetually. The medicine of the law of Jina (spiritually victorious ) is full of nectar, is the eliminator of sensuous pleasures, is the destroyer of the disease of old age and death and is the annihilator of all the sufferings The meaning revealed by the Arahanta (embodied spiritually perfect personality) has been properly worded by the Gañadharas (chief disciples of the Arahanta ). So by bowing my head with devotion I make obeisance to the ocean of (worded) scriptural knowledge. Utterances which have issued from the mouth of Arahanta (embodied spiritually perfect personality ) are free from inconsistency Tercfore, they are congruous That is why those utterances have been styled 'Agama' And in the Āgama Reals have been delineated
