I bow to Arista Neminäth, Pärshvanäth, and Vardhamän (Mahävirswämi).
I praise the Arihantas who have eliminated all karma that obstruct the true qualities of soul, and thereby are free from the cycle of birth and death. These are the twenty-four Tirthankaras (Jinas) that bless me.
PRATIKRAMAN RITUAL
Oh, Arihantas! You are praised, bowed to, and whole-heartedly worshipped. You are the purest souls in the universe. Grant me divine energy and Right Conviction (Bodhi Samyaktva) and the highest state of consciousness.
You are purer than the moon and more brilliant than the sun. You are deeper than the oceans. Please assist me to attain perfection. 2.2 Qualities of Tirthankars - Namutthunam Sutra
This Sutra enumerates the virtues of a Tirthankar and offers obeisance to all Tirthankaras. The king of heavenly beings (devas) Shakrendra recites this Sutra at the time of conception and birth of a Tirthankar. This Sutra is also known as 'Shakra Stava' Sutra
