Vishesharth - In this first Gatha, the author Shriman Nemichandracharya has done Namaskar to his Ishtadeva and promised to tell about Jivpraruparna.
Who are Kritakritya, therefore Siddha; who are devoid of Dravya-Bhavrupa Dhatiya-Karmas, therefore Suddha; who are devoid of Sudhaadi 18 doshas, therefore Akalank and whose qualities are like jewels, such Neminath Bhagavan ko Namaskar karke, or
Who are Jinenadra, because of their infinite knowledge which is revealed after the destruction of Ghatiya Karma, who are endowed with the unparalleled Aiswarya of the nine Kevala Labdhis, whose knowledge illuminates the three lokas and three kalas, who are like the axle of the chariot of Tirth, who are like the moon that makes the lotus eyes of the three lokas bloom, such Jinenadra Shreshtha Chatuviti Tirthavar Samudaya ko, or who are Jin who break the mountains of Karma, among them Indra-pradhan Indrabhuti Gautam Gagadhar ke var (guru) Shri Vardhaman Swami ko Namaskar karke, who is also Nemichandra, because he is "Nem" because he takes his disciples to the indestructible pad and he is also Chandra because he illuminates the world like the moon. In this way, Vardhaman Swami is Nemichandra; after doing Namaskar to him, who is Siddha because he has achieved his goal, who is Suddha because he is devoid of Dravya-Bhavrupa Karmas like Jnanavaran etc., who is Akalank because he is devoid of the doshas imagined by the Parvadis,
