Praise to the arhats, the blessed ones, who are the cause of the beginnings, who provide the path across, who have of themselves attained enlightenment, the best among men, the lions among men, the lotuscs among men, the gandha -hastins among men, the best of those in the world, the lords of the world, the benefactors of the world, the lights of the world, the irradiators of the world, those who give freedom from fear, who give insight, who give the right direction, who give refuge, who give enlightenment, who give the sacred doctrine, who expound the sacred doctrine, who are the authorities on the sacred doctrine, the guide to the sacred doctrine, the ecumenical monarchs of the sacred doctrine, those who maintain the irrefutable knowledge and insight, who have thrown off all travesties, the jinas, who drive away evil, who have crossed over, who aid others across, the enlightened and the enlighteners, the liberated and the liberators, the omniscient, the all-seeing, those who have reached that place that is called siddhi-gati from which there is no return, and which is bliss immutable, inviolable, endless, imperishable, and undisturbed; praise to the Jinas who have overcome fear. In the threefold way I worship all the siddhas, those who have been, and those who are, and those who in future time will be.
Then after Khamasaman Sutra,
NAMA JINA-STAVA-DANDAKA 1. Logassa ujjoya-gare dhamma-titthayare jine arihante kittaissam cauvisam pi kevali 2. Usabham Ajiyam ca vande Sambhavam Abhinandanam ca Sumaim ca Paumappaham Supasam jinam ca Candappaham vande 3. Suvihimi ca Pupphadantam Siyala-SejjamsaVasupujjam ca Vimalam Anantam ca jinam Dhammam Santim ca vandami 4. Kunthum Aram ca Mallim vande Munisuvvayam Nami-jinam ca vandami Ritthanemim Pasam taha Vaddhamanam ca 5. Evam mae abhithua vihuya-raja-mala pahina-jaramarana cauvisam pi jina-vara titthayara me pasiyantu 6. Kittiya-vandiya-mahiya jee logasa uttama siddha arogga-bohi-laham samahi-varam uttamam dentu. 7. Candesu nimmalayara aiccesu ahiyam payasayara sagara-vara-gambhira siddha siddhim mama disantu I shall praise the twenty-four Jinas, the arhats of perfect knowledge, who have illuminated the world and created the sacred doctrine as a way across ... (The names are listed) ... Thus I have extolled the twenty-four Jinas who have shaken off impurities and defilements and rejected old age and death, may they, the tirthankaras, be gracious to me; may they, the Siddhas, the best beings give me enlightenment and tranquility and Final release, they who have been praised and worshipped and adored, may the Siddhas, purer than the moons, more radiant than the suns, and profound as oceans, give me bliss. Then javanti ceiyaim uddhe ya ahe ya tiriya-loe ya savvaim taim vande iha santo tattha santaim. From here I adore all such images as exist there in the upper world and the middle world and the nether world; Then the Sakra-stava, so-called because in the legends it is usually spoken by Indra, runs as follows: namo 'tthu arihantanam bhagavantanam, aigaranam titthayaranam sayamsambuddhanam, puris'uttamanam purisa-sihanam purisa-vara-pundariyanam purisa-vara-gandha-hatthinam, log'-uttamanam loganaha-nam loga hiyanam loga-paivanam loga pajjoyagaranam, abhaya-dayanam cakkhu-dayanam maggadayanam sarana-dayanam bohi-dayanam, dhammadayanam dhamma-desayanam dhamma-nayaganam dhamma-sarahinamdhamma-vara-caurantacakkavattinam, appadihaya-vara-nan-damsanadhardnam viyatta-chaumanam, jinanam javayanam tinnanam tarayanam buddhanam bohayanam muttanam moyaganam, savvannunam savva-darisinam sivam ayalam aruyam anantam akkha-yam avvabaham apunanavilti-sichi-gai-nama-dheyam thanam sampatta nam namojinanam jiya-bhayanam
javanta kei sahu Bharah'-Eravaya-Mahavidehe ya savvesim tesim panao trvihena ti-danda-virayanam
I bow down to all those sadhus averse from evil in word, in thought, or in act who are to be found in Bharata, Airavata, and Mahavidcha;
Then Stavan or Uvvasagaram Sutra
and then, making the mukta-sukti-mudra, to pronounce the prani-dhana-sutra:
1. Jaya viya-raya jaga-guru hou mamamtuha ppabhavao bhayavam bhava-nziveo maggdnusdnyd ittha-phala-siddhi
2. Loga-viruddha-ccao guru-jana-pua par'-atthakaranam ca suha-guru-jogo tav-vayana-sevana a bhavam akhanda

Hail, Jina, preceptor of the world, through your grace, blessed lord, may I achieve these things: disgust for the world, regular pursuit of the right path,
