Exposition of Pratikramana Stotras
25
You are the wish-fulfilling gem and master of the noble souls (bhavya means living beings who have potential to liberate themselves). The preceptors of entire Universe, protectors of six categories of living beings, brothers of every soul, guides of people seeking liberation, intelligent expounders of six substances of Universe. Whose images have been placed on Mount Ashtapad, destroyers of eight karmas, whose religious order cannot be destroyed by anyone, such are the 24 triumphant Peaceful liberators (Tirthankaras). 1 કમ્મભૂમિહિં કમ્પભૂમિહિ, પઢમ સંઘચણિ, ઉજ્જોય સત્તરિસચ, જિણવરણ વિહરત લભઈ, નવોદિહિં કેવલિણ, કોડિસહસ્સવ સાહુ ગમ્મઈ, સંપઈ જિણવર વીસમુણિ બિહુકોડિહિં વરનાણ, સમણહ કોડીસહસ્સેદુઅ, યુણિજજઈ નિચ્ચ વિહાણિ. ૨ kamma-bhumihim kamma-bhuminim, padhama-sanghayani, ukkosaya sattari-saya, jina-varäna viharanta-labbhai, navakodihim kevalina, kodi-sahassa nava sähu gammai, sampai jinavara visa muni, bihum kodihim vara-näna, samanaha kodisahassa-dua, thunijjai nichcha vihäni. 2 In this land of toil (karmabhumi) where one has to work for
hood, 170 Noblest (utkrust means excellent) Lord Tirthankaras have taken birth. Ninety million Omniscients and ninety billion monks are found at times. At present time there are 20 Tirthankaras, 20 million Omniscient and 20 billion monks present, I bow respectfully to all of them every morning. 2 જયઉ સામિય જયઉ સામિય, રિસહ સત્તેજિ, ઉર્જિતિ પહુ નેમિજિણ, જયઉ વીર સચ્ચ ઉરિ મંડળ, ભરૂઅચ્છહિં મુણિāય મુહરિપાસ દુહ દુરિઅખંડણ,
