Bandhudaodiranayasattapattaani Khayiyani ||1|| Gathaarth- Shree Veer Jinendra has destroyed all karmas in the Gunasthanas, including Bandha, Uday, Udirana, and Sattasthan. We pray that we may also be able to do the same. Vishesharth- This gatha indicates the subject matter to be discussed in the granth, while praising Shree Veerajineshwara.
Praise is done in two ways... by pranam and by describing extraordinary qualities. This gatha includes both types of praise, because describing extraordinary and real qualities is called praise. The complete destruction of all karmas is an extraordinary and real quality of Bhagwan Mahavira. He did not destroy karmas in just one state, but destroyed all karmas in all states, including Bandha, Uday, Udirana, and Satya, and attained the Sachchidanandamya Atmaswaroop.
