________________
With true devotion, I bow down to the first Tirthankar, Shree Rushabha-dev Bhagawan, who is the source of prosperity; to Shree Shänti-näth Bhagawän; to Shree Nemi-näth Bhagawan, who is like a supreme monk; to Shree Pärshvanäth Bhagawan, who enlightens the universe and is the abode of supreme
virtues; and Bhagawän Shree Mahävir-swämi.
Now, bow down while reciting Khamäsamana Sutra
इच्छामि खमा-समणो! वंदिउं, जावणिज्जाए निसीहिआए,
मत्थएण वंदामि.
ichchhämi khamä-samano ! vandium, jävanijjäe nisihiäe, matthaena
vandämi.1.
Oh! Bhagawan! I wish to offer my obeisance to you. I am giving up all sinful activities to the best of my abilities, and I am bowing my head down to you.
