kathitam santu siväya te jinendräh…… .2.

Meaning;

I wish for permission from the spiritual preceptor, to pay my obeisance to forbearing
Monks (kshmashramana). I pay my respect to the five supreme beings, arihanta, siddha,
Acharya, upadhyaya and sadhus.
I pay my obeisance to lord mahavira, who after winning a constant struggle with karmas,
Achieved liberation, which is beyond the comprehension of wrong believers. ...1.
Let the peaceful liberators always be our benefactors. They have feet, which are soft
Like lotus flowers, therefore when they walk, their feet land on the golden lotuses
Created by heavenly gods. ..2.
Let the words of tirthankars, which are like first heavy rainfall at the beginning of
Monsoon season, spoken through the mouth of chief disciple (gandhara); bring peace and
Tranquility to me 3.
