________________ 5. Tresort to the shelter of Arahantas. I resort to the shelter of Siddhas. I resort to the shelter of Sādhus. I resort to the shelter of the Dharma (ethico-spiritual values) preached by the omniscient. Meditate only on the five holy teachers (spiritual pillars) who are permeated with spiritual energy, who are auspicious, who are the shelters in the four grades of existence, by whom the world has been adorned, who are the supreme objects of devotion, and who have been adored by the human and celestial beings along with the Vidyadharas (human beings moving in the sky by means of supernormal powers). May the Arahantas who are the annihilators of the dense obscuring Karmas (psycho-physical impurities), who are like the sun for the lotus of releasable souls existent in the three worlds, who are infinite knowers and are also enjoyers of unique bliss, win in the world. 8. May the Siddhas who are devoid of eight types of Karmas (psycho-physical impurities), by whom all the purposes have been accomplished, by whom (their own) reincarnations in the world have been put to an end, by whom the essences of all the substances have been known, show me the path to liberation.
