Nor do I dislike others on account of my aversion towards their faith. I have critically examined as to who can be regarded as an authority. On the basis of this examination, I found you, O Tirthankara Mahavira, to be an authority and hence I have taken shelter under you. युगान्तरेषु नमोस्तु भ्रान्तोस्मि, त्वदर्शनविनाकृतः कलये यत्र, त्वदर्शनमजायत - ARMITA, & yugantaresu bhranto'smi, tvad-darshana-vina-krutah namo'stu kalaye yatra, tvad-darshanam ajayata | - Vitaragastava, 6-7 O Venerable One! I wandered, through the ages, in the transmigratory existence because I got no opportunity to worship you then. But now in this Kali Age I have got the opportunity to worship you. Therefore I salute Kali Age. Bamanwada Tirth 215 For Private And Personal Use Only
