There are four most superior beings in this world, namely arihantas (perfect beings with body), siddhas (liberated souls), sādhus (holy monks) and dharma (religion) based on the sermons of omniscient lords. May they be beneficial to me? I dedicate myself or take refuge to these four beings namely arihantas (perfect beings with body), siddhas (liberated souls), holy monks (sādhus) and dharma (religion) based on the sermons of omniscient lords.
My prayer / Meri Bhāvanā by Pt. J. K. Mukhtara
Jisane rāga dveșa kāmādikajīte saba jaga jäna liya | Saba jīvon ko Mokṣa mārga kā nisprha ho updeśa diya || Buddha Vira Jina Hari Har Brahma ya usako svādhina kahol Bhaktibhāva se prerita ho ya citta usī men līna raho. Il
Meaning: He, who has destroyed or subdued his attachment, aversion, desires and had understood the reality of this universe; who delivers the sermons to everybody about the path of spiritual purification and attaining liberation; who may be called by different names such as Buddha, Vira, Hari, Hara and Brahma or the self soul; Imbued with devotion in Him, may this mind be eternally engrossed in Him.
Vişayon ki āśā nahi jinake sāmya bhāva dhana rakhate hain Nija para ke hita sādhana me nišadina tatpara rahate hain || Svārtha tyāga ki kathina tapasy, bina kheda jo karate hain Ese jñānī sādhu jagat ke duhkha samūha ko harate hain. ||
Meaning: They, who have overcome the desire for sensual pleasures and maintain the state of equanimity; they are engrossed everyday in the welfare of others as well as their own; they practice the hard penance of selflessness; such knowledgeable ascetics (they) conquer lovercome the pains of mundane worldly existence.

Rahe sadāsatsamga unhi kā dhyāna unhīkā nitya rahe Unhi jaisi caryā men yaha citta sadā anurakta rahe || Nahi sataun kisi jīva ko jhutha kabhi nahi kahā karūnl Paradhana vanitā para na lubhāun santo șāmsta piyā karūn.||
