PRATIKRAMAN RITUAL
I bow to the liberators from fear, the givers of vision, the givers of the path, the givers of refuge, the givers of right conviction, and the givers of enlightenment. I bow to the givers of law, the preachers of law, the masters of law, the leaders of law, the world monarchs of law, and those who are the best in all four directions.
I bow to those who are liberated from the bondage of false knowledge, who are the holders of unrestricted and ultimate knowledge and faith, who in this world are the light, the liberators, the refuge, and the movers and givers of rest.
I bow to those who are the victors and the givers of victory, the saviors and the saved, the givers of enlightenment and the enlightened, and the givers of liberation and the liberated.
I bow to the all-knowing, all-seeing Jinas, who have conquered fear and who have attained the blissful, stable, formless, infinite, imperishable, unobstructed, and eternally perfect state and existence.
I bow to Bhagavan Mahävir, the last Tirthankar, whose arrival was determined by the preceding Tirthankars. I pay homage and I bow to Bhagawan, and may the Revered Bhagawan cast his gracious glances at me here. 2.3 Prayer to Lord Tirthankar - Jaya Viyaräya Sutra Jaya Viyaraya Sutra is also known as Pranidhäna Sutra which denotes a state of ecstasy. It relates to an act in which the physical, mental and spiritual faculties together are sincerely praying to Lord Tirthankar. (Note - First 4 sutras represent Tirthankar prayers. The 5th Sutra is added after 13h century and it not a prayer and hence it is eliminated)
