**37**
**73.** O Lord, you are the embodiment of all the *charanas* (powers of movement): *jalacharana*, *janghacharana*, *phalacharana*, *shrenicharana*, *tantucharana*, *pushpacharana*, and *ambaracharana*. This means: (1) You can walk on water as easily as on land, and no aquatic creatures are harmed by your presence. (2) You can traverse the sky without taking a step. (3) You can walk on fruits without causing them to fall from the tree. (4) You can travel in a straight line through the sky, even over mountains. (5) You can walk on threads of yarn or spiderwebs without breaking them. (6) You can walk on flowers without crushing them or harming the creatures that live there. (7) And you can move freely through the sky. Therefore, we offer you our salutations. O Master, you are the holder of inexhaustible wealth. Even if you eat in a small dining hall, the food will never run out, even if you feed the entire Chakravarti's army. And even if you give a sermon in a small space, it will be spacious enough for all humans and gods. Therefore, we offer you our salutations.
**74.** O Lord, you are the ultimate benefactor in this world, the supreme guru. Those who serve you attain the wealth of knowledge.
**75.** O Lord, you have described all the scriptures of this world. Therefore, great yogis offer you their salutations.
**76.** O Lord, we believe that liberation is attained through you. We take refuge in the shade of your feet, and we worship you with faith.
**77.** O Lord, even though speaking your praise may harm our *vaggupta* (control over speech), remembering you may harm our *manogupta* (control over mind), and bowing to you may harm our *kayagupta* (control over body), we do not care. We will always praise you, remember you, and bow to you.
**78.** O Lord, we have praised you as described above. As a result, we request you to tell us the story of the sixty-three *shalaka purushas* (liberated souls). This is our prayer.
**79.** O Lord, we hope to receive the appropriate Dharma from listening to the Puranas, and we look forward to the Puranas in the form of poetry.
**Note:** The terms *charana*, *jalacharana*, *janghacharana*, *phalacharana*, *shrenicharana*, *tantucharana*, *pushpacharana*, *ambaracharana*, *vaggupta*, *manogupta*, *kayagupta*, *shalaka purushas* are all Jain terms.
