Ratnakarandaka-śrāvakācāra
O Wise Lord! You had conquered all attachment and, therefore, do not heed worship; you entertain no aversion and, therefore, do not heed calumny. Still, just the thought of your auspicious qualities washes the evil mire of karmic matter from our hearts.
स्तुतिः स्तोतुः साधोः कुशलपरिणामाय स तदा
भवेन्मा वा स्तुत्यः फलमपि ततस्तस्य च सतः । किमेवं स्वाधीन्याज्जगति सुलभे श्रायसपथे
स्तुयान्न त्वां विद्वान्सततमभिपूज्यं नमिजिनम् ॥
(२१-१-११६)
The worship of Lord Jina must result in propitious outcomes for the worthy and noble worshipper, whether or not the Lord being worshipped is present (with reference to time and space) and whether or not the worshipper is bestowed with boons (like heavenly abode) by the Lord. Even after the availability of such a self-dependent path to emancipation, which wise man will not engage himself in the praise of the supremely worshipful Lord Naminātha Jina?
