Exposition of Pratikramana Stotras
I bow to Lord Pärshvanätha, the conqueror of all calamities, who has a guardian angel (Yaksha) called Pärshva, who is free from all eight Karmas, who destroys the venom of Kämatha the demon (snake) and who is treasure house of all auspiciousness. 1 વિસહર ફુલિંગમત, કંઠે ઘારેઈ જે સયા મણુઓ, તસ્સ ગહ રોગ મારી, દુઠ જા જંતિ ઉવસામ. ર vishara phulingamantam, kanthe dhärie jo sayä manuo; tassa gaha roga märi, duttha jarä janti uvasämam. 2 People, who memorize and recite viasdhara sphuling, the powerful incantation (mantra), or make amulet and wear it around the neck, their sufferings due to effects of adverse planetary deities (nava graha), sickness, malignant fever and any other afflictions, are all suppressed. 2 ચિઠઉ દૂર મતો, તુજઝ પણામોવિ બહુફલો હોઈ, નરતિરિએ સુ વિ જીવા, પાવંતિ ન દુફખ દોગ. ૩ chitthau dure manto, tujjha panämovi bahuphalo hoi; naratiriesu vi jivä, pävanti na dukkha dogachcham. 3 Leave aside that powerful incantation, even an obeisance offered to you is, so effective that living beings born as humans and animals do not suffer from unhappiness or misfortunes. 3 તુહ સમ્મત્તે લદ્ધ, ચિંતામણી કuપાચવભહિએ. પાવંતિ અવિષ્ણેણં, જીવા અયરામ ઠાણ. ૪ tuha sammatteladdhe, chintamani kappapäyavabbhahie; pävanti avigghenam, jivä ayarämaram thänam. 4 Human beings when they attain the right faith, which is even superior to the wish fulfilling gem (chintämani ratna) and desirefulfilling tree (kalpa vruksa), will attain liberation without major obstacles. 4 ઈઅ સથુઓ મહાયસ! ભક્તિભર નિભણ હિયણ. તા દેવ! દિજજ બોહિં, ભવે ભવે પાસા જિણચંદ: ૫ ia santhuo mahäyasa! bhatttibbharanibbharena hiaena; tä deva! dijja bohim, bhave bhave päsa! jinachanda. 5
