इस प्रस्तावनाके बाद मूल ग्रंथकी मंगलादिविषयक पाँच गाथाएँ एक साथ दी हैं जिनमेंसे पिछली दो गाथाएँ इस प्रकार हैं
किच्चा अरहंताणं सिद्धाणं तह णमो गणहराणं । अज्झावयवग्गाणं साहूणं चेव सव्वेसिं ॥४॥ तेसिं विसुद्धदंसणणाणपहाणासमं समासेज्ज ।

In these verses, Sri Kundakunda Acharya has stated that 'I bow down to the Arhat, Siddha, Acharya, Upadhyaya, and Sarvasadhu (the five supreme beings) and by attaining their pure vision and knowledge, I take refuge in, or attain, that state of equality (supreme conduct free from attachment) which leads to liberation.' And by this vow, he has indicated the subject matter of his text.
