5: VĪRASTAVA PRAKĪRNAKA
1. ARUHA O' Lord ! you are free of rebirth (Aruha = A + ruha or incapable of germination or birth) in the dense forest of worldliness, because you have burnt the karma, that helps the seed of mundane existence to germinate, by the fire of meditation.
2. ARIHANTA O' Lord ! you have completely destroyed the karma – the souls' enemy, responsible for extreme infliction, hardships and passions. Therefore, you are Arihanta - the destroyer of the enemies.
O' best of the Masters ! you are worthy of obeisance, eulogy, bowing, worship and veneration and capable of spiritual perfection - Siddhi. Therefore, you are Arihanta -- capable and potent.
O'Jinendra! you are venerated by the best of the kings of humans, gods and demons. You are patient and forbearing and free from the flaw of indecision. Therefore, O’ Arihanta! you are worthy of worship and veneration.

3. ARAHANTA O’ Jinendra ! you are free from Raha (Ratha) - chariot, all types of possession and attachment and (being omniscient) from ignorance that can be compared to the dense darkness in a deep mountain cave. Therefore, you are Arahanta - without chariot (signifying all material and mental baggage causing worldly attachment and wandering in the circuitous cycle of mundane existence).
