Oh! Vitaräga Paramätmä! Oh! Spiritual preceptor of the universe, through your
teachings, incessantly throughout this life and in all future lives, I wish to:
Detach myself from worldly life. Lead my life on the path of right conduct, as you preached.
Attain salvation.
Lead a life of high morals and ethics. Be respectful to and take good care of Guru Mahäräj and elderly people.
HABe helpful to and of service to others. Be in close touch with the right spiritual Guru. Follow the instructions and orders of the Guru.
Oh! Vitaräga Paramätmä, I am aware that your teachings advise against asking
anything from you. In spite of this,
I wish to be of service to you at your feet for this life and all my future lives.
Oh! Bhagawan
I bow down to you and further long for:
Freedom from the cycles of birth and death, which cause ultimate
unhappiness. Eradication of my karmas A peaceful death in perfect equanimity. Right knowledge, right faith, and right conduct.
Jain Darshan and the Jain way of life are the most auspicious. They are the source of ultimate bliss (Moksha). They are the best and the greatest among all
religious philosophies.
We complete this Chaitya Vandan by doing a Käusagga. For that purpose, we
now recite the following Sutra.
