અહંતો ભગવંત ઇન્દ્રમહિતાઃ સિદ્ધાશ્ચ સિદ્ધિસ્થિતાઃ આચાર્યા જિનશાસનોન્નતિકરાર પૂજ્યા ઉપાધ્યાયકાઃ શ્રીસિદ્ધાન્તસુપાઠકા મુનિવરા, રત્નત્રયારાધકાઃ પંચે તે પરમેષ્ઠિનઃ પ્રતિદિન કુર્વ— વો મંગલમ્.
Divine Arihanta, conquerors of the inner enemies, are venerable to even the kings of the heavens (Indra), the fully liberated Siddhas are enthroned in Siddha Shila: Also the Acharyas – the spiritual leaders who foster the nobility of the faith, the tutors (Upadhyaya) who expound on the doctrine The mendicants (Sadhu) who observe the three jewels (The three jewels which constitute that path to Moksha: right vision (self-realised perspective), right knowledge and right conduct) I pay daily homage to these five supreme beings (panch parmeshti), so that they continue to be the cause of my spiritual upliftment.

ભક્તામર પ્રણતમૌલિમણિ પ્રભાણા - મુદ્યોતકં દલિત પાપતમોવિતાનમ્ સમ્યક્ટ્રણમ્ય જિનપાદયુગે યુગાદા - વાલંબન ભવજલે પતતાં જનાનામ્.
Bhaktaamar pranatamaulimani prabhaanaa - Mudhyotakam dalitpaaptamovitaanam. Samyakpranamya Jinapaadyugam yugaadaa - Vaalambanam bhavjale patataam janaanaam.
When the heavenly gods bow down at the feet of Bhagavan Rishabhadev the jewels in their crowns sparkle in the radiance of his aura. The sins of the lowly souls and the darkness of their delusion are removed. True devotion at the feet of the Jinas is the best path as they are a support to those who have been falling into the ocean of worldly life over the ages. (10)
