**Supplement: The Heroic Song of Shri Haribhadraji, Like the Roar of a Lion**

Just as cowards flee in fear upon hearing the heroic song of a valiant man who says, "I will die," or "Death is my subject," so too, upon hearing the words of this valiant Chaugaveer, the lowly beings flee in fear. What is surprising about this? Because here, it is the story of "Nagad Narayan," the story of the "Hirna Marag Kaldaar" in the form of a deer, and the story of the spiritual culmination of the feelings of the "Shura." It is the story of the "Chauga Vijay" or the "Subhat," who, like a warrior, consumes himself in the process of performing sacrifices. "First, place your head down, then take the name, you see!" - It is the story of taking the name of this Chauga after first placing your head down. It is the story of moving forward on the path of Chauga, with a heart free from deceit, and surrendering oneself. It is the story of the ultimate heroic act of showing "Vipan" in one's own place. This "Hir" - the one who conquers the "Kam" - is the path of the "Prabhu," the path of the "Shura," and it is not the work of a coward. (See page 8, "Veerpanu Te Atamthane" etc.).

"The path of the "Hir" is the path of the "Shura," it is not the work of a coward, you see;
First, place your head down, then take the name, you see." - Shri Pritam Bhakt
Due to these reasons, the wise Acharyas never give such an excellent Chauga-related text into the hands of the "Ayogya." That is why the author of this text, Shri Haribhadracharya, says that this text is not suitable for the "Ayogya." And we are not saying this out of disrespect or contempt for the "Ayogya" beings, but we say it respectfully; because we have no hatred towards those beings, nor do we disrespect or despise them, but we have equal regard for all beings, and towards such "Ayogya" beings, we have a special feeling of compassion, that if these beings were to attain this path of Chauga, how good it would be! But for that, they must also acquire the necessary qualifications. Once they acquire the qualifications, they too will become eligible for this. Therefore, just as the "Yogya" should strive to increase their qualifications, so too, the "Ayogya" should strive to acquire qualifications. Therefore, they should not be discouraged at all. Because as they increase their qualities of detachment, calmness, etc., they will become eligible. Therefore, they should strive to increase their detachment, etc. But until such qualifications have come, they are not eligible for this. That is why we have said this respectfully, and that too only for the benefit of those beings. Because it is a general rule that a doctor should examine the patient's pulse properly, understand their nature, and administer medicine keeping in mind their age, digestive capacity, etc. If he does not do so,
