Answer

The verse you wrote appears to be a Sanskrit/Prakrit devotional salutation related to Samayasāra and the pure nature of the soul.

A simple meaning is:

“I bow to Samayasāra, which shines through direct self-experience; which is of the nature of pure consciousness; and which remains distinct from all other states and substances.”

Explanation

Breaking the meaning down:

• Namah means “salutation” or “I bow.”
• Samayasāra means the “essence of the Self/soul.” It is also the name of the great Jain text by Āchārya Kundakunda.
• Swanabhūtyā means “through one’s own direct experience” or “self-realization.”
• Chakāste means “shines” or “manifests.”
• Chit-svabhāva means “whose nature is consciousness.”
• Bhāvāya means “to that state/nature.”
• Sarva-bhāvāntare means “separate from all other states/modes.”
• Chide means “to consciousness” or “pure knowing awareness.”

So the verse is offering reverence to the pure Self, whose true nature is consciousness, knowledge, and awareness, and which is realized through direct inner experience rather than merely external description.

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, the soul’s real nature is chetanā — consciousness. The pure soul is different from the body, karmas, passions, attachment, aversion, and worldly modifications.

This verse points toward the central message of Samayasāra:

• The soul is fundamentally pure.
• Its true nature is knowing and seeing.
• Bondage happens due to identification with non-soul states.
• Liberation begins by realizing the Self as distinct from all other substances and impure states.

Takeaway

This verse is a reverent bow to the pure conscious Self — the essence taught in Samayasāra — which shines through true self-experience and remains distinct from all non-soul states.
