O you Exalted ones! Like the lord of the gods, who, at the time of the birth of all the Tirthankara lords who are born in this world of the mortals, the land of Bharata, the land of Airavata and the land of Mahavideha, upon his seat being shaken, coming to know (of the birth of the lord) through intuition, the first lord of the world of gods named Saudharma, causing the bell called Sughosa to be rung, and accompained by all the gods, demons and the Indras, taking the lord Arihanta into his hands, and climibing up the summit of the mount Meru, and celebrating the birth of the lord, announces the words of peace "Let there be peace! Let there be peace!", I also, realising that "One should imitate what is already done" and "That is the right path which is beaten by the great people", joining hands with the exalted souls to perform the Snātra on the dais meant for reciting the Snātra, proclaim peace. So you are requested again and again to listen patiently, after performing the worship, pilgrimage and the celebration called Snātra etc.
