5 COMMENTARY ON BHOPĀLA CATURVINSANTI STOTRA :
Bhūpål Caturvinsanti stotra is a work in Samskrit by Bhúpal poet. It is a prayer in praise of twenty four Tirthankaras. Asadhar, a famous samskrit writer of 13th Century wrote a commentary on this stotra. But the copy of the Commentary written by him was not available before some time back. Now it has been discovered in the Såstra Bhandār of Jaina tenple, Pāțodi. This is a rare manuscript as upto this time only one manuscript has been discovered. The commentary was made by the scholar for his pupil Vinay Candra. This is a good commentary on the work. The commentary of the 2nd stanza is as follows -
शान्त वपुः श्रवणहारि वचश्चरित्रं,
सर्वोपकारि तव देव ततः श्रुतज्ञाः । ससारमारवमहास्थलरुन्द्रसान्द्र
च्छायामहीरुह भवन्तमुपाश्रयन्ते ।। २ ।।
शान्त निर्विकारं सौम्यमित्यर्थ । वपु शरीर तवास्तीति सबन्ध । श्रवणहारि श्रोत्रप्रिय वचो वाक्य तवास्ति । चरित्र चरण विहरणक्रिया सामाधिकादि चारित्र वा सर्वेषा प्राणिनामुपकारि उपकारकम् । भगवति हि विहरति सुभिक्षारोग्यादिना सर्वे जन्तव स्वस्था भवन्ति । प्राण्युपघातश्च न स्यात्तथातदुपदिष्टधर्मानुष्ठानानिराबाधा भवन्ति । यतः एव । हे देव इन्द्रादिभिर्दीव्यते स्तूयते इति देव । ततस्तस्माद्वपु शान्तत्वादिति हेतो. । थ तज्ञा भागमविदः। ससार एव मारव मरुदेशप्रमव महास्थल प्राणिना सन्ततसन्तापहेतुत्वात्तत्र रु द्रो महान् सान्द्रो घनः छाययोपलक्षितो महीही वृक्षः । यस्य सूर्ये चलत्यपि गस्य छाया निश्चला भवति स छायातरुरिति लोके प्रसिद्धः स तथाभूतो जिन ग्रामन्यते । भवन्त त्वा श्रयन्ते अन्तिरादव्यावत्य समन्तात्सेवन्ते ।। २ ।।
