Champat Rai Jain, Vidya Varidhi.
(Continued from page 133). M AY that Jinendra be eternally victorious who is like
extreme Felicity for all Living Beings, who is the knower of all the objects of the three periods of times, who is the Destroyer of the affliction of Evil Deeds of all beings, whose pure fame is known all over in the three Regions of Space (the Universe), who has overthrown Cupid's power and destroyed the four kinds of inimical Karmas, who is endowed with matchless unperishing Glory, round whose throat are thrown, so to speak, the arms of the goddess Mukti (Salvation), whose Feet are worshipped by Indras of handsome necks, and whose worship is performed by Devas on the occasion of the Kalyanakas.
O Thou endowed with extraordinary Glory and Grace ! O Lord of the Universe ! May You be ever victorious ; ever victorious ! Thou art the sole Protector of the souls that are floundering in the ocean of life (birth and death); hence, may Thou be ever attaining Victory! attaining Victory ! Victory ! Victory (to the Jinendra) Breaking through the darkness of deep ignorance I worship Thee to attain to Light! Be Thou pleased with me!
Om, Rhim, o Worshipful Jinendra ! Do Thou come
hither, come hither Om, Rhim, O Worshipful Jinendra ! Be Thou seated
here, be Thou seated here. Om, Rhim, O Worshipful Jinendra ! Do Thou come near
me, near me. O Goddess ! O Goddess Wisdom! O Worshipful One! I am the adorer of the pair of Thine lotus feet; with devotion do Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat
