Exposition of Pratikramana Stotras
I worship Arishtanemi that ecumenical holy monarch, who received the initiation on the summit of the Mount Girnära, attained perfect knowledge (kevala-jnäna) and the final release (moksha). 4

ચત્તારિ અટ્ઠ દસ દોય, વંદિયા જિણવરા ચઉવ્વીસ, પરમટ્યુ નિટ્ઠિઅટ્ઠા, સિદ્ધા સિદ્ધિ મમ દિસંતુ. ૫
chattäri attha dasa do ya, vandiyä jinavarä chauviisam; paramttha-nitthi atthä, siddhä siddhim mama disantu. 5
May four, eight, ten and two, thus twenty-four venerated Jinas, who have been liberated and attained the Siddha state, show me the final release. 5
Explanation: In the fifth verse the numbers four, eight, ten and two, thus the total number twenty-four; represent images of Tirthankaras placed by Universal Monarch Bhärata in four directions of Mount Ashtäpad.
