One who has risen beyond
Jisnne raga-dwesh kamadik jeete Earthly bonds, ill feeling and passion Sab jag jan liya One who has shown to all living Sab jeevon ko mokshamarg ka beings
nispraha ho upadesh diya The path to salvation
Buddha, Veera, Jina, Harihar, Call him Mahavir Jin or Buddha Bramha Harihar or Brahma
Ya usko swadhin kaho Or a soul attaining emancipation Bhaktibhav se prerit ho Let my mind dwell deep within Yah chitta usi men leen raho Absorbed in deep devotion to him

Wise saints succeed in resisting All material temptations Inspired by equanimity They constantly pursue promotion Welfare of all without distinction They engage in selfless arduous penance Without any hesitation Such saints succeed in overcoming Worlds multiple sorrows burden
Vishyon ki ashha nahin jinke Samya bhav dhan rakhte hain Nija-para ke hita-sadhana men jo Nish-din tatpar rahte hain Svartha-tyaga ki kathin tapasya Bina khed jo karte hain Aise jnani sadhu jagat ke Dukha-samooha ko harte hain.

May I always be in their noble company May they always be in my contemplation May I seek from their life pattern Constant motivation and inspiration May I not hurt any living beings May I never utter a lie May I not be tempted by others wealth or women May I be content with The nectar of satisfaction
Rahe sada satsang unhin ka Dhyana unika nitya rahe Unki jaisi charya men yeh Chitta sada anurakta rahe Nahin sataun kisi jiva ko Jhoot kabhi nahin kaha karun Para-dhan vanita par na lubhaun Santoshamriit piya karoon.
