**Where are your infinite qualities, O Lord, and where am I, a mere insignificant being, who cannot even comprehend the qualities of the Ganadharas? Yet, inspired by devotion to your qualities, I strive to praise you.** ||128|| **O Lord, even a little devotion to you bears immense fruit. This is only natural, for the wealth of the master nourishes the lineage of the servants.** ||129|| **Just as the rays of the sun emerge from behind the clouds, so too, your countless qualities have manifested after the removal of the obscuring veil of karmic impurities.** ||130|| **O Lord, by conquering karmic impurities, your true vision, knowledge, happiness, and strength, which are all impermanent, have become manifest.** ||131|| **O Lord, when your supreme light of Kevala Jnana (omniscience) emerged, you instantly knew all the worlds and non-worlds without any limitations.** ||132|| **O Lord, your words, which are all-pervading and pure, reveal your omniscience.
