TWENTY-SIX NAMES OF VĪRA-JINENDRA I bow to Jinendra Mahāvīra, who is universal brother, who is like the Moon for the blooming of the lotus flowerlike worldly living beings, who is as patient and immovable in His virtues as the mountain-king Himavāna and praise Him through His following famous attributal names – 1. Aruha (Not subject to rebirth), 2. Arihanta (Destroyer of karmic spiritual foes), 3. Arahanta (Worthy of worship and veneration), 4. Deva (Divine being), 5. Jina (Conquer ur of spiritual foes – delusion and passions), 6. Vīra (Brave), 7. Parama Kārunika (Extremely compassionate), 8. Sarvajña (Omniscient), 9. Sarvadarść (Omni-visioned), 10. Pāragāmi (Transcended), 11. Trikālajña (knower of the happenings in three time-periods – the past, present and the future), 12. Nátha (The Protector), 13. Vītarāga (attachment-transcended), 14. Kevali (Endowed with purity of knowledge), 15. Tribhuvan-guru (Universal teacher), 16. Pūrna (Complete), 17, Tribhuvana-varistha (Universally supreme), 18. Bhagavanta (the Lord), 19. Tīrtharikara (Prophet Propounder of the faith and establisher of the four-fold religious order – Tīrtha), 20. Śakra-vandit (Bowed to by the celestial kings), 21. Jinendra (Master conqueror), 22. Śrī Vardhamāna (Enhancer of weal), 23. Hari (Guardian), 24. Hara (Remover of misery), 25. Kamalāsana (Lotus-seated -Brahamā), and 26. Pramukha (or Buddha).
