________________ स्वामिन् सुदूरमवनम्य समुल्पतंतो मन्ये वदंति शुचयः सुरचामरोषाः । येस्मै नति विदधते मुनिपुंगवाय। ते नूनमध्यगतयः खलु शुद्ध भावाः ॥२२॥ O my Lord, the cluster of resplendent wavering Chamras in the hands of celestials coming down from high point indicates that those who worship the Supreme Saint with mental purity rise: like the chamras. त्वं तारको जिन कथं भविनाम् त एव त्वामुद्रहन्ति हृदयेन यदुत्तरन्तः । तुल्या भवंति भवतो ननु तेन किंवा भूत्याश्रितं य इह नात्मसमं करोति ॥१०॥ OJina (victor); how is it that you are called the leader of the ship of devotees, when they bear you in their hearts and cross the ocean of transmigration? Verily, the pneumatic belt crosses the water due to the efficacy of air contained therein (similarly because of your presence in the heart the devotees cross the ocean of transmigration.) Poet Dhananjaya in his Vishapahara Stotra remembers Jinendra Lord Rishabha Deva thus : स नीरजाः स्यादपरोघवान्वा तद्दोषकीत्यैव न ते गुणित्वम् स्वतोम्बुराशेः महिमा न देव स्तोकापवादेन जलाशयस्य ॥११॥ O my Lord, Thou art without any blemish and others are full of faults, thus describing the flaws of others Thou cans't be called virtuous. The fact is that an ocean is majestic by itself, and not by derogating the smallness of a pond.
