CHAPTER 17
The Prayer of Submission
(212J Rrlos )
Oh Lord! I am without refuge, while confessing and doprecating all my wrong doings (geha ), and rejoicing ( 315 GT ani ) at all my good deeds (21 ET), I am submatting myself to your feet (1.e. to you).
Oh Bhagwan! Either by doing, or getting done by others, or feeling happy at others' doing wrongful acts, and sins, either through wind, speech or action - now all such acts of mine, with a keen desire not to do them again, may they become powerless to form new karmas ( Gezu ).
on Lord of all Lords! Whatever few good deeds, which are lying on the path to Liberation, or which are concerned with right faith and vision, right knowledge, and right conduct (2017121 ), that I have done - I rejoice in them.
Oh God! or all the Arihantas (1.e. all Tirthankaras
(of past, present and fature) - of these great souls (Eisdi ) whatever good qualities are there, I bring
them to my memory and rejoice in them,
