________________ Namorhat.... At the bathing ceremony, all the devas and daanavs (together) offer this fragrant kusumanjali that permeates in all ten directions. Just as all the Indras praise the infinite cycles of chauvisis (24 thirthankars), sakal sangh (all debotees) also rejoices in offering this kusumanjali. Anant chauvisi jinaji jeeharun; Vartman chauvisi sambharu, Kusumanjali melo chauvisi Jinanda. Siddha swarupi ang pakhali; Atam nirmal hoi sukumali; Kusumanjali melo Chauvis Jinanda! 14 While we remember all the chauvisis, with this kusumanjali, we offer special reverence to the current chauvisi for their blessings. Mahavidehe sampratee; Viharman Jin vis, Bhakti bhare te pujiya; Karo sangh sujgish. 15 Namorhat. We pray to the Twenty Jineshwars of the future chauvisi who are presently in the Mahavideh kshetra to bless the sangh (Samaj) today. Appachar mandali geet uchhara; Shree SHUBHVIRVIJAY jayakara, Kusumanjali melo Sarva Jinanda; Siddha swarupi ang pakhali, Atam nirmal hoi sukumali; Kusumanjali melo sarva Jinanda! 16 The sangh is singing the songs, just as the apsaras (dancers of the devlok) are chanting the melodies of joy and happiness, Shree Shubhvijay Maharaj interprets this auspicious occassion of the birth of sarve (all) jinashawars with this kusumnjali. At this time, the devotees put kusumanjali on the right toe of the Bhagwan. SHREE SHATRUNJAY DUHAS The following Duhas (verses) are recited by every one and the people in puja clothes does the pradakshina (walk around the Murti) three times. Ekeku daglu bhare, Shetrunjay samo jeh; Reekhav kahe bhav kodana, karma khapave teh!.... 1 With every step / take on the Shetrunjay Mahatirth (pilgrimage), I pray for the blessings from the Rushabhdev Bhagwan to eliminate my karmas. Do the Khamasamanu! Icchami khamasamano! Vandium Javanijjae Nisihiae? Matthaena Vandami! I offer obeisance to the Lord Jineshwara and Ksama-Sramana. ....
