38. Introduction
Hymn or Praise of Tirthankars recited after completing six essential duties in evening Pratikraman (Devasika Pratikramana). This prayer is recited to show the joy of completing all the six essential duties in the evening Pratikraman.
In the first verse, the disciple is paying homage to Lord Mahävira who has achieved the eternally perfect state of existence by his inner strength;
In the second verse, to all the Tirthankars, the benefactors of the entire mankind; and
In the third verse to the Scriptures, which bring peace and calmness just like the first rains of the monsoon season making the earth cool and rich for the cultivation of crops.
