ते पंडिया जे विरया विरोहे । ते साहुणो जे समयं चरंति । ते संतिणो जे न चलंति धमे(म्मे)। ते बंधवा जे बसणे हवंति ॥ १॥ धूरि दूहा ॥ सुभ मति भापो सारदा । सरसवचन सरसत्ति । वहमांणी सुहु विघनहरि । भलउ करे भारत्ति ॥१॥ चउवीसे जिनवर चतुरा नाम हुवह नव निधि । श्रीगौतम गणधर सधर । सदा करो सानिधि ॥ २॥ आदीसरि जिन उदयकरि । सांति जिणंद सुषवास । निरमल मति द्यो नेमि जिण परता पूरो पास ॥३॥ विधनहरो श्रीवीर । जिण । सुखसंपददातार । पंचतीरथ जग पर गडा। प्रण, प्रहसमसार ॥ ४॥
