**Somasen Bhattaraka's Composition**
**Worship of the Jinas**
One should perform the worship of the Jinas with auspicious eightfold offerings. Then, one should worship the scriptures, the Guru, and the Siddhas with utmost devotion. (71)
**Description of Scripture Worship**
Those devotees who worship the scriptures with devotion, they worship the Jinas in essence. There is no difference between the scriptures and the Jinas, as the scriptures themselves declare. (72)
**Description of Guru Worship**
Those who desire liberation and happiness should constantly serve the Guru without negligence. For those who remain under the protection of the Guru, like a Garuda under the shade of its wings, are free from the serpents of obstacles in their religious endeavors. (73)
**Meaning:** Those who abide by the Guru's instructions are never troubled by obstacles. Therefore, one should definitely worship the Guru.
With a sincere and agreeable attitude, one should enter the Guru's mind and please them with constant humility, like a servant pleases a king. (74)
**Types of Worship**
There are four types of worship: daily worship, eight-hour worship, Indra-flag worship, Kalpa-tree worship, and four-faced worship. (75)
