## Translation:
**Verse 19:**
Just as 'stanitam' (thunder) is the most prominent among all sounds, and 'tu' (here) is a word that can be used as an adjective or a conjunction, and just as the moon is the most radiant among all stars, illuminating and delighting all beings, and just as 'chandana' (sandalwood) is considered the best among all fragrant substances, whether it be the 'goshirsha' variety or the 'malaya' variety, similarly, among all 'munis' (great sages), Bhagavan (Lord) Mahavira is the best, for there is no vow (pratijna) that can be taken in this world or the next that can equal his greatness.
**Verse 20:**
Just as the 'svayambhu' (self-born) Raman ocean is the best among all oceans, and Dharanendra is the best among all Nagas (serpent kings), and the Ikshu-rasodaka (sugarcane juice) ocean is the best among all sweet waters, similarly, Bhagavan Mahavira is the best among all those who practice austerities (tapas).
**Verse 21:**
Just as Eravana is the best among elephants, and the lion is the best among deer, and the Ganga is the best among rivers, and Garuda is the best among birds, similarly, among all those who preach liberation (nirvana), the Nayaputta (son of the leader) is the best.
