I am the Soul the Prabhu, he is plural. Prabhu by himself is one, but since he resides in the hearts of many devotees, he is plural.
Prabhu is 'Jnana Svarupi' ( Facet ) - in the form of knowledge. In the infinite sectors of the soul, there are the elements of knowledge. There cannot be a single sector of the soul free of the element of knowledge. Prabhu has completely destroyed the jnanavarniya and attained complete knowledge. In fact, knowledge is soul and soul is knowledge. Thus his spirit is immersed in knowledge. Hence Prabhu is jnanasvarupi'.
Prabhu is ‘Amaľ ( 37487 ) - immaculate. That where there is not a spot of dirt - HTTS - is called amal. Where there is attachment - passion, there will be dirt. Since there is no attachment, there is no dirt. The absolutely pure soul Prabhu is ‘amaļ.
The sages and the utmarthi jivas perceive such virtues of the Prabhu.
Here, we have been told, what the true inner form of Jineshwar Bhagwan is, which is the truly valued form and that alone is worthy of knowing. Only through these virtues can we understand the true inner form of the Jineshwar. But the Matarthi jivas get dazzled by the external energy that appears on the Prabhu as a result of his punyodaya, and mistake it for Prabhu's true form. And they believe it to be the achievement of the purpose of their understanding. Yet it is a serious mistake.
Srimadji has told us what misconceptions there are in the beliefs about the Tirthankar.
Now he enlists other indications of Matarthi jivas.
