A01 Jain Prayers
Tirthankar Bhagawän, who is worshipped by heavenly gods; Siddha Bhagawän, who permanently reside on Siddhashilä; Ächärya Mahäräj, who propagate the Jain religion; revered Upädhyay Mahäräj; and Sädhus and Sädhvis who are well versed in the scriptures and followers of three jewels of Jainism; may these five supreme beings bestow bliss every day.
आदिमंपृथिवीनाथ- मादिमंनिष्परिग्रहम् । आदिमंतीर्थनाथंचऋषभस्वामिनंस्तुमः ।।
Adimam pruthivinatha-madimam nishparigraham | Ädimam tirthanätham cha, Rushabhasväminam stumah ||
We pray to Bhagwan Rishabhdev who was the first king, who was the first one to renounce all his possessions and who is the first Tirthankar.
वीरः सर्वसुरासुरेन्द्र महितो, वीरंबुधाः संश्रिताः वीरेणाभिहतः स्वकर्मनिचयो, वीरायनित्यंनमः । वीरात्तीर्थमिदं प्रवृत्तमतुलं वीरस्यघोरतपो वीरे श्रीधृतिकीर्ती कांतिनिचयः श्रीवीरभद्वंदिशः ।।
Virah sarvasuräsurendra-mahito, Viram budhäh sanshritäh Virenäbhihatah svakarma nichayo, Viräya nityam namah Virat tirthamidam pravruttamatulam, Virasya ghoram tapo Vire shri dhyuti kirti känti nichayah, shri Vira! bhadram dishah ||
I always bow down to Bhagawän Mahävir, who has eradicated all His Karma and who is worshipped by all heavenly gods as well as demons. O Mahävir Swami Bhagawän, the learned take refuge in You. You have established this un-paralleled Tirtha (four-fold Jain sangh). O Bhagwan Mahävir, Your austerities were intense. You have attained the ultimate enlightenment, wealth of knowledge, patience, glory, grace, and peace. Oh! Bhagawän Mahävir, please guide me on the path to liberation.
