Your presence in form of enlightenment is spread in all the beings of the universe and hence you are known as " VIBHU" (fay). The scholars think about you with utmost reasoning. But ultimately they conclude that it is not possible to comprehend your eternal qualities and properly shape their ideas regarding you. Hence they finally resign and say that you are "ACHINTYA"(sama). Your countless qualities are unaccountable and hence scholarstatisticians define you as 'ASANKHYA' (rea). Oh God! you have incepted Dharmateertha (white) and you are the first Tirthankara. Therefore you are called "ADYA" (3414).
Thinkers think that you have achieved infinite happiness, "Brahman" and hence you are the " BRAHMA"(PEN). As you are worshipped by innumerable Devas, you are rightly the Lord ($271) of the Devas.
As you have conquered the death, you are ANANT (3) deathless. The sexual desire is called the KAMA and the mythological deity for the success of KAMA is called KAMDEVA, but you are the supreme Conqueror of sexual desire and hence you are called ANANGAKETU (312), the foe of the Kamdeva.
The physical, mental and oral activities of ATMA are known as KAYAYOGA MANOYOGA and VACHANAYOGA respectively. Those who master these YOGAS are YOGIS and you are the supreme amongst them YOGEESHWARA(योगीश्वर).
Inspite of the eternal settlement of Yogas in yourself, you have remained absolutely unconcerned as if they are not present, which is the height of your awareness and therefore the scholars have rightly defined you as VIDITYOGA (Pafcrim).
Samavasarana (narut) is the place occupied by Tirthankara (et) for his preaching. Tirthankara faces eastern direction while addressing the disciples and listeners. Devas in their act of overwhelming devotion, create your divine images in all other directions as well. So you are known as ANEKA (377 )
God! Scholars could not find out any other similar personality like yours and therefore they say, you are the only one, only one and only one.... you are unparalleled, UNIQUE (1).
Oh my God ! You are the ocean of knowledge, So you and the knowledge are just the same. Therefore scholars say that you are JNANA-SWAROOPA (Han).
God! the critics and faultfinders tried to find out your limitations and shortcomings; but it was all in vain, because there is no existence of any vice in you. You are therefore known as AMALA (3141) the spotless personality.
Bhagawan Rishabhdeva ! You have been praised in various forms as mentioned hereabove by the saints of the world as you possess infinite virtues, words fall short to describe you.
