I bow in the feet of Lord Jinas, you, 
who are worshiped by kings of
humans, demons and celestial beings, with their heads bowed
down, with garlands made of lotus flowers; the lotus flowers which adorn their crowns, and you, who have fulfilled all the desires of people who have paid their obeisance to you. 2

I bow to, the ocean of words (scripture) of Lord Mahävira which is full of profound knowledge, whose verses are like a fascinating and flowing pool of water, whose body is vast due to the mutual union of waves of non-violence and simplicity, full of inter-twined lessons of doctrines, full of essence and full of jewels of wisdom. 3

O Goddess Sarsavati! With extremely beautiful complexion,
