________________ 54 Arhat Pārsva and Dharanendra Nexus श्रीमत्पार्श्व ! त्रिभुवनपते ! त्वत्पदाम्भोजभाजाम् ॥ २०॥ ___ - श्री प्रसादद्वात्रिंशिका Some time in the middle of the 13th century, Alhadana, a Nirgrantha-Svetambara minister of the Gallaka community at the court of the Vāghelā monarch Visaladeva of Gujarat, had composed a serene and quiet hymn in praise of Pārsvanātha in which he invokes the Jina Pārsva of Sankheśvara and of Serisaka (Serisā), both tirtha's situated in north Gujarat:31 अम्भोदरूपिणि रुषा कमठे हठेन वृष्ट्या विकुर्वति भवन्तमवन्तमूर्वीम् । लीलातपत्रधरणे धरणेन्द्रनागस्त्वत्पर्युपासिषु विभो ! परमार्गमाप ॥ ९॥ - श्री पार्श्वजिनस्तवनम् Next in sequence and significance may come the Pārsvanātha-stavana of the eminent scholiast and hymnist, Dharmakīrti alias Dharmaghoșa Sūri of Tapāgaccha (latter half of the 13th cent. A.D.). The particular verse is addressed to the Jina Pārsva of Sirisa-nagara (Serisa), the tirtha referred to in the foregoing discussion:32 भोगिस्कन्धनिद्धपादयुगलं स्फूर्जत्फणाडम्बरं कायोत्सर्गजुषं शिरीषनगरप्रासादलब्धोदयम् । ध्यानस्थं कमठोपसर्गविगमे कैवल्यलक्ष्मीयुतं श्रीपार्श्व जगतां विदारितरुजं पश्यन्ति धन्या जनाः ॥ ६॥ - श्रीपार्श्वनाथस्तवनम् In his Stuti-Caturviņśatikā, Dharmaghosa Sūri once more attempted the portrayal of Parsva with Dharanaraja:33 अहिपतिवृतपार्श्व, छिन्नसमोहपार्श्व, दुरितहरणपाषवं सन्नमद्यक्षपार्श्वम् । असुभतम् उ पार्श्व, न्यकृतामं सुपार्श्व, वृजिनविपिनपार्श्व, श्रीजिनं नौमि पार्श्वम् ॥ २३ ॥ - श्री स्तुतिचतुर्विंशतिका Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
