प्रणम्य सम्यग्जिनराजवीरं। सुबोधमर्थ दिनकृत्यसत्कं
लिखाम्यबुद्धिप्रतिबोधनाय ॥ १ पढमं नाणं तओ दया एवं चिट्रइ सव्वसंजुए। अन्नाणी किं काही किंवा नाही छेय पावयं ॥ २
पहिलउ ज्ञानुतनु पाछइ दया जीवं विषइ कृपा एवं इणि क्रमि चिद्रइ । किसउ अर्घ रहइ । कउण रहइ गुणश्रेणि इसउ आ पहे जाणिवउ । कउण माहिं सव्वसंजए ।। संजओ दुविहो सब्वसंजओ साहू देससंजओ साव
ओ। सबसंजतही माहि देससंजतही माहि। अन्नाणी किं काही किंवा नाही छेय पावयं वि । अज्ञानु किं करिष्यति । किं सउ करिसिहि । किंवा ज्ञास्यति । अथवा किसउ जाणिसिइ । छेउ पुण्यु । पावयं पापु । इति । सुपुणि ज्ञानु योग्य रहई दीजइ | अयोग्य रहई न दीजइ । जोग्य शुश्रावकु जेह माहि एकवीस गुण हयई॥
