Spiritual leader of the universe, through your grace and blessings, I wish to attain detachment from worldly life and follow the path of right conduct for the attainment of liberation. (1) I wish to lead a life of high morals and ethics, to be respectful to and take good care of Guru Mahārāj and elderly people, to be helpful and of service to others, to find a right spiritual leader and adopt his teachings. (2) Oh! Vitarāga Parmātmā (Tirthankar), I am aware of the fact that your teachings advise against asking anything from you, In spite of this, Oh! Bhagawān, I am bowing down to you and I wish to be of service to you at your feet, for this and all my future lives. (3) Oh Vitarāga Parmātmā, by virtue of your grace, let my unhappiness be destroyed and my Karmas annihilated. Let me remain equanimous at the time of death and retain the right faith to your teachings. (4) Jain philosophy and its practice are auspicious and the cause of all spiritual prosperity.
