પ્રભુદર્શન સુખસંપદા, પ્રભુદર્શન નવ નિધિ, પ્રભુદર્શનર્સે પામીએ, સકલ મનોરથ સિદ્ધિ.
Prabhudarshan sukhsampadaa, prabhudarshan nav nidhi, Prabhudarshansen paamie, sakal manorath siddhi.
A worshipful vision of The Lord bestows happiness. That selfrealisation unlocks the soul's treasure chests. By means of that vision, our desire for enlightenment is fulfilled. (13)
જીવડા જિનવર પૂજીએ, પૂજાનાં ફળ હોય; 2198 47,491 777, 24121 4 Gių siu.
Jeevadaa Jinvar poojee-e, poojaanaan fal hoy; Raaj name, prajaa name, aan na lope koy.
O! Soul, when we worship Lord Jina, that worship will bear such a fruit that, The King will bow and so will his subjects, and nobody will disobey your orders. (14)
જ્ઞાને બાંધ્યું મન રહે, ગુરુ વિણ જ્ઞાન ન હોય. Kumbhe baandhyun jal rahe, jal vin kumbh na hoy; Gnaane bhaandhyun man rahe, guru vin gnaan na hoy.
A pot contains water, but without water, a pot cannot be made; Similarly wisdom contains the mind, but, without a Guru, there can be no wisdom. (15)
ગુરુ દીવો, ગુરુ દેવતા, ગુરુ વિણ ઘોર અંધાર; જે ગુરુવાણી વેગળા, રડવડીઆ સંસાર.
Guru deevo, guru devtaa, guru vin ghor andhaar; Je guruvaanee vegalaa, radvadeeaa sansaar.
The Guru is the lamp, the Guru is the Lord himself, without the Guru there is absolute darkness; Those bereft of the Guru's Word will continue to suffer in the vicious cycle of birth and death. (16)
