Aarti - Aadinathji
Jaya jaya arati adi jinanda, Nabhi raya Marudevi ko nanda; ||
|| Paheli arati puja kije, Narabhava pamine lavho lije; ||
||Dusari arati din-dayala, Dhuleva nagar mahen jaga ujiyala; ||
||Teesari arati tribhuvana deva, Sura nara Indra kare tori seva; ||
||Chauthi aarti chau gati chure, Mana vanchhit phala shiva sukha pure; ||
Panchami arati punya upayo, Mulachanda Rishabha guna gayo. |||
With this lighted lamp (arati), I pray that Lord Adinath, Beloved son of King Nabhi and Queen Marudevi, be victorious;
.. With this first arati puja, I am participating in this auspicious activity in this human life;
With this second arati, I pray to Lord Adinath, who is merciful to the poor and whose virtues enlighten even
poorly lit places;
With this third arati, I pray to Adinath, Lord of the three universes, who is worshipped by deities, humans
and their kings;
With this fourth arati, I pray that Lord Adinath helps me eliminate wandering in four life forms and to be
able to obtain the eternal happiness of moksha;
With this fifth arati, according to Mulchand (the poet), by praising the virtues of Lord Rushabh Dev, the
worshipper generates punya (good karmas).
