________________ 147 तुभ्यं नमस्त्रिभुवनालि-हराया नाम । तुभ्यं नमः क्षितितलामल-भूषणाय । तुभ्यं नमस्त्रिजगतः परमेश्वराय .. सुम्यं नमो जिनभवोषि शोषणाय ॥२६॥ Salutation unto Thee, the dispeller of the sufferings of all the three worlds; salutation unto Thee, the bright jewel of the earth; obeisance to Thee, the Supreme Lord of all the three worlds; reverence unto Thee, OJina ! Who dries up the •ocean of transmigration. मत्तद्विपेन्द्र-मृगराज-दवानलाहि संग्रामवारिषि-महोदर-बंधनोत्थम् । तस्याशु नाशमुपयाति भय भिव यस्ताबकं स्तवमिमं मतिमानधीते ।।४७।। The intelligent man, who chants this prayer offered to Thee is in no time liberated from the fear born of wild elephants, lion, forest-confiagration, snakes, battles, oceans, dropsy and shackles. Several great poets have eulogised Jinendra beautifully. Some examples will give an idea of the charm and serenity. In Kalyanmandira stotra we read: क्रोधस्त्वया यदि विभो प्रथमं निरस्तो। ध्वस्तास्तदा वद कथ किल कर्मचौरा. । प्लोषत्यमुत्र यदि बा शिशिरापि लोके । नीलदुमाणि बिपिनानि कि हिमानि ॥१३॥) O Lord, when you have destroyed anger beforehand how could you overthrow the host of karmic bandits ? Does not cold snow destroy green trees of the forests in this world ?
