O Dev, you have arisen to give us supreme bliss. Do lotuses ever bloom without the sun rising? ||23|| O Dev, you are going to give the support of the hand of Dharma to these worldly beings who have fallen into the well of false knowledge. ||24|| O Dev, just as darkness is destroyed by the rays of the sun before it rises, so too has the darkness of our hearts been destroyed by your words, which are like rays. ||25|| O Dev, you are the original Dev of Devs, the original Guru of the three worlds, the original creator of the worlds, and the original leader of Dharma. ||26|| O Dev, you are the master of the worlds, you are the father of the worlds, you are the protector of the worlds, and you are the leader of the worlds. ||27|| O Dev, just as the moon, which is itself white, makes the whole world white with its moonlight, so too do you, who are yourself pure, purify the whole world with your excellent qualities. ||28|| O Lord, these beings who are afflicted by the disease of the world will be cured by your words, which are like medicine, and will attain supreme bliss from you. ||29|| O Bhagavan, you have attained this Tirthankara, the supreme state, by destroying all afflictions, therefore you are pure. You are the one who purifies others, and you are the imperishable, excellent light. ||30|| O Lord, although you are Kutastha - eternal - you do not appear to us to be Kutastha, because all the qualities that arise from meditation are constantly increasing in you. Meaning - That which is Kutastha (eternal) does not undergo any change, that is, neither do its qualities decrease nor increase, but we see that many qualities arising from meditation and other yogic practices continue to increase in you every moment, so you do not appear to us to be Kutastha. ||31|| O Dev, although you are pure without bathing, the abhisheka that was performed on you on Mount Meru was done only to purify this world, which is polluted by sins. ||32|| O Dev, by your birth abhisheka, not only we have been purified, but also this Mount Meru, the ocean of milk, and the forests of both (the gardens and the forests). ||33||
