The Svetāmbara Narratives
'बे वंदणीक'गच्छि सहिगुर(रु)सार । सकल कला केरु भंडार । श्रीदेवगुप्त वंदूं सूरीस । कर जोडी कहइ तेहनु सीस ॥ १९ ।। संघकथनिथिउ उलट घणु । रचिउ रास मित्रानंद तएं। कुंथ(थु) जिणे सर तणइ पसाय । करी चोपई 'उझा'माहि ॥२०॥ कुण संवच्छर कहइ मासि । करिउ गस जे कहुं विम्मास । संवत सोल छहोतर (१६०६) जाणि । शाक च उद बहुत्तिरो (१४७२)
वषाणि ॥२१॥ यदि धैशाष चउथि तिथि सार । मूल नषेत्र निर्मल रविवार । तेणइ दिनि रचीउ ए रास । सांभलतां पहुचाइ सधि आस ॥ २२ ॥ सर्व ग्रंथनी संख्या मुणु । दुहा चोपई एक ठां गुणो। गाहा वस्तु तेहमांहिं मिली । शतक पंच एकत्रीसह बली ॥ २३ ॥ वस्तु एक चोपई सय च्यारि । बली च्यालीस अधिकीय विचारि ।
प्राकृत गाथा जाणु पंच । दूहा पंचहुत्तिरिनु संच ॥ २४ ॥ etc. The last verse is as under:--
'मेरु' महीधर महीधर मही(य)लि सार । जिहां प्रतपह दिनकर संसारि। 15 तिहां ए रास सदा सुषकार । जयु जघु श्रीसंघ मझारि ॥ २७॥
