DAILY RECITATIONS
211
The four are the most propitious: the Arhats, the Siddhas, the Sadhus, and the dharma expounded by the Kevalin (omniscient being).
The four are the noblest objects in the universe, the Arhats: the Siddhas, the Sadhus, and the Dharma expounded by the Kevalin (and none else).
May I take refuge in the four: The Arhats, the Siddhas, the Sadhus, and the Dharma expounded by the Kevalin (and in none else). III. Obeisance jiya-bhaye, jiyauvasagge, jiya-indiya-parisahe, jiya-kasāe, jiyarāi-dosa-mohe, jiya-suha-dukkhe, namaṁsāmi.
dukkha-khao, kamma-khao, samāhi-maranam ca bohi-laho ya, mam hohu jagad-bāndhava tava Jina-vara-carana-saraņeņa.
I bow to Him who has conquered fear, conquered all afflictions, conquered sensual vexations, conquered the passions, emotions, attachment, aversion and delusion, and has conquered pleasure and pain. May my misery end and the karman be annihilated. May I attain enlightenment and meet a peaceful death. May thy feet, O Noble Jina, the friend of all living beings, be my refuge. IV. Pious Aspirations, Two-and-thirty (Bhāvanā-dva-trimśikā,
alias, Sāmāyika-pāțha) by Ācārya Amita-gati:
1. O Lord ! may my self be always friendly to all living beings, take pleasure in the company of the) meritorious, have unstinted sympathy and compassion for those in distress, and a neutral indifference towards the perversely-inclined. 2. May I, O'Jinendra! by thy grace, become capable of visualising the separateness of the pure (defectless) and infinitely potent Self from the material) body, just as is the blade of a sword separate (and distinct) from its scabbard.
