________________ Arbat Parsva with Dharanendra in Hymnic Literature रणरणकविशेषक्षोभवन्मोक्षलक्ष्मीसरभसपरिरम्भात् कुङ्कुमेनारुणेव ॥ ८ ॥ - श्री पार्श्वनाथाष्टकम् The stanza 8 of the hymn refers to the image of Pärśvanatha and the luminescence cast by the gems on the hoods of phanipati or Nāgarāja Dharana. It likewise alludes to the deluge created by Daitya Kamatha. Among the western Indian medieval Nirgrantha hymnists, Jinavallabha Sūri of Kharatara Gaccha (active c. A.D. 1060-1110) was perhaps the greatest. He, too, graphically describes Jina Pārśva, protected by the polycephalous Nagendra in the PārsvaJina-Stotra he composed in Sanskrit: 26 Jain Education International पायात् पार्श्वः पयोदद्युतिरुपरि फणिस्फारफुल्लत्फणालीं बिभ्रद विस्फूर्जदूर्जस्वलमणिकिरणआसूत्रितेन्द्रायुधां वः । संरूढप्रौढकर्मद्रुमवनगहनल्लोषपुष्यद्विशुद्धध्यानाग्निज्वालमालानुकृतिसकृतया सप्तधा प्रोल्लसन्ती ॥ १ ॥ श्रीमान् यः पापतापप्रशमहिमरुचिः सप्तभिः पन्नगेन्द्रस्फारोत्फुल्लूस्फटाभिः स्फुटफलितमणिप्रांशुरश्मिच्छटाभिः । भाति भ्रान्तिच्छिदायै जगति सुनयसत्तत्त्वसत्सप्तभङ्गीसङ्ख्याव्याख्यानबद्धक्षण इव स जिनः श्रागनिष्टं पिनष्टु ॥ ४ ॥ Also, in his Prākṛta hymn to Pārsva he displays equal mastery on the power of description: Indeed he is soulfully expressive on this favourite theme in his PāsaJina-thavana7: फारुप्फुल्लं तुह उवरि फणिफणासत्तयं फुरंतं मे । कयसत्ततत्तसंखा वक्खाणखणं व पडिहाइ ॥ ६ ॥ उवरि परिफुरियफणिवइचूडामणिकिरणरइयसुरचावं । अइभीसणभवदवतवियभवियवणपसमणसमत्थं ॥ ७ ॥ गुरुको वफारफुक्कारभासुरो फणिवई वि फुल्लफणो । चित्तंमि तुमं जेसिं तेसिं कीडु व्व होइ फुडं ॥ ११॥ 51 श्री पार्श्वजिनस्तोत्रम् सिरि पासजिणथवणं Next notable among the ecclesiastical composers was the great dialectician Dharma For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
