The Lord whose wisdom embraces the essence of all scriptures,
The celestial beings are in awe
of him, because of this wisdom He has won the hearts of souls in
all three worlds.
All twenty-four Tirthankaras have been praised in pure hymns, I revere the first of them Shree Rushabhdev. (11)
To be blessed by their perspective and vision, we first need to worship them with devout eyes.
Vision of the Lord of the Lords is the true vision, and (worship of) that vision destroys sins; That vision is akin to a ladder to heaven and progressively that vision leads to Moksha; That vision (self-realisation) eliminates the most difficult of karmas, Devotion to that vision fulfils all desires,
Proper (True) worship of the Jina bestows Moksha, so that the Jina is a wish-fulfilling tree (Kalpavriksha). (12)
