Samvatsari Pratikramana
297
I bow to Kunthunāth, Aranāth, Mallināth, Munisuvrat-swāmi, and Naminäth. I bow to Arishta Neminäth, Pärshvanäth, and Vardhamān (Mahāvir-swāmi). (4) I praise the Arihantas who have been liberated from all karmā that obstruct or hinder the qualities of soul and thereby have broken the cycle of birth and death. These are the twenty-four Lord Jinas or Tirthankaras that bless me. (5) Oh, Arihantas! You are praised, bowed to, and whole-heartedly worshipped. You are the purest souls in the universe. Grant me divine health and Right Faith/Conviction (Bodhi Samyaktva) and the highest state of consciousness. (6) You are purer than the moon and more brilliant than the sun. You are deeper than the oceans. Please assist me to attain liberation. (7)
