Here, with salutations, we inquire about the true nature of the revered Lord Vira. The three epithets applied to this Vira Bhagavan are (1) Jinottma, (2) Ag, (3) Gigamya. Their true meaning is as follows: Jinottma - the most excellent among Jinas. The one who has conquered the internal enemies like raga, dvesha, maha, etc. is called a Jin (Arihant-Vitrag). There are different stages of Jinas based on the progressive manifestation of their inner qualities: Kritajin, Avadhijin, Man:paryaya-jnana Jin, and Kevali Jin. And among them, Vira Bhagavan is the most excellent, the most sublime, the most supreme, because he is a Kevali, and also a Tirthankara. The process of attaining the Tirthankara state is as follows: Attracted by the inherent potential (Tathabhavya) of the being, the excellent Badhi-bija was obtained by him in a previous birth. At that time, he served the excellent Sthanakas with devotion, preaching, affection, etc., and performed excellent worship. He thought with the feeling of a Bodhisattva: "I will deliver these unfortunate beings who are suffering in this deep, dark world of Samsara, by the light of this Dharma, and I will make all beings enjoy the taste of the righteous Dharma." Then, with the qualities of Karuna, etc., in a concise and detailed manner, it has been described by the previous teachers in Uttaraadhyaayan-Yoganirnay, etc. You too, through the different perspectives of Yoga. Here, the immediate purpose of the Yoga discourse is to explain the Yoga, while the ultimate purpose is Nirvana. Because, with pure intention, this is a type of activity for the benefit of beings, and this activity is the seed of Nirvana, which is unhindered and certain. The subject of Abhidheya is the same, it is the relationship with the characteristics of Sadhu-Sadhana. This path is clear, well-cultivated, and well-known. And the immediate purpose of the listeners is to understand the meaning of the discourse; the ultimate purpose is also Nirvana, because due to the understanding of the meaning of the discourse, there is appropriate activity here, and this activity is also the unhindered and certain seed of Nirvana.
"मोहान्धकारगहने संसारे दुःखिता बत / सत्त्वाः परिभ्रमन्त्युच्चैः सत्यस्मिन्धर्मतेजसि // अहमेतानतः कृच्छ्राद्यथायोगं कथंचन / अनेनोत्तारयामीति वरबोधिसमन्वितः / / करुणादिगुणोपेतः परार्थव्यसनी सदा / तथैव चेष्टते धीमान्वर्धमानमहोदयः / / तत्तत्कल्याणयोगेन कुर्वन्सत्त्वार्थमेव सः। तीर्थकृत्वमवाप्नोति परं सत्वार्थसाधनम् // "
