Tirthaukar! The way of the Tirtha extends
From one world to others which are the pure secluded human hewets. So the dirt of the heart has to be washed - Dirt that touches this transient world,
The inner filth To be wißed, beings to be rendered free from fear.
May this Truth Shine May the cloak of sin disappear. That day shall I witness the boundless far-offsky
A beautiful assurance
Throbbing then the universe, Non-ending like the ray of light, never to die
Having no identity. Knowing this, I offer my obeisance at thy feet.
