Meaning:
O Master! Willingly permit me to worship. (Master if present says
yes do). As per your permission I am performing the Chaitya vandana.
You are the wish-fulfilling gem and master of the noble souls
(bhavya means living beings who have potential to liberate
themselves). The preceptors of entire Universe, protectors of six
categories of living beings, brothers of every soul, guides of people
seeking liberation, intelligent expounders of six substances of
Universe. Whose images have been placed on Mount Ashtäpad,
destroyers of eight karmas, whose religious order cannot be
destroyed by anyone, such are the 24 triumphant Peaceful liberators (Tirthankaras). 1
In this land of toil (karmabhumi) where one has to work for
livelihood, 170 Noblest (utkrust means excellent) Lord
Tirthankaras have taken birth. Ninety million Omniscients and
ninety billion monks are found at times. At present time there are
20 Tirthankaras, 20 million Omniscient and 20 billion monks
present, I bow respectfully to all of them every morning. 2
Rushabhdeva on Mount Shatrunjaya, Neminätha on Mount
Girnära, be triumphant! Mahävira Swami who graces Sachora
Nagar, Munisuvarat Swami in Bharucha and destroyer of
unhappiness and sins Lord Pärshvanätha seated in Muhari village,
be triumphant! Other 20 Tirthankaras of 5 Videha kshetra and also
all the Tirthankaras of all the directions, of past, present and future,
I pay my respect. 3
I salute to 85,700,282 (eighty-five million seven hundred thousand
two hundred and eighty two) Jain temples located in all three worlds. 4
I salute to permanently present (shashvata) 15,425,836,080 images
of Jina located in all these Jain temples. 5
