I bow to Thee, O Lord AdinathTeacher Supreme Guide of the Path

of Dharma Eternal Source Divine

The Purusha first Saviour Benign

Crowns place celestials on Thy feetDelusions they remove, see vision sweet

Worshipping Thy feet ends transmigration

With body, mind, speech concentration.

With words select and expressions deep

I give Thine supreme attributes a peepJust as Shruti others sang Thy praise

It was Indra and other celestials craze.

My desire to praise Thee is insolence

Using various expressions sheer ignoranceNo wise man would catch the reflection

Of moon in water, a childish action.

Ocean limitless of passionless attributesEven Brahaspati is unable to pay tributes

Which creature can swim the oceanDisturbed by Dooms day violent motion.

Though idiotic like a laughing stock I singThy praise, devotion imparts the surge.

Accumulated sins of births disappearThe prayer removes their traces

No traces of any darkness appearWhen sun's rays the night faces.

With Thy grace, prayer I offerPleasant soothing to people's mindWhen water drops on lotus flower

Shine, it imparts of pearls kind.

What to say of Thy attributes gloriousMere mention destroys sins notorious

Just as lotus flowers bloom with delightWhen falls on them remote sun's light.

No wonder they attain Thy positionWho recite Thy attributes with devotion

Such masters hardly get commendationWho raise not their servants to their elevation.

On Thee a person focuses attentionExcludes everything else to mention

After taste of nectar from milky oceanWho will have saline water notion.

Lord of the universe its decoration and grandeurThere is none else here to match your splendour

Because ingredients of your attributes of non attachment

Were the only ones in the world without replacement.

Failed to seduce Thee with her charmCelestial beauty could do no harm

Mountain Meru is too steadfastDooms day winds other mountains blast.

O Lord, Thy light three worlds illuminesA lamp without wick oil smoke Thou shines

O wonderful lamp, brightening the whole universeToo strong for the mount quaking windy curse

Thou illumines universe moon makes a planet bright.

O Lord, Thy halo dispels the darkness perpetualOf what use is then sun of usual and moonlight

Of what use are the clouds full of rainsWhen all the fields flow with ripe grains.

Deities other envy Thy OmniscienceJust as glass glaze diamond's brillianceIn them there is no such glorification

It is matching the glass to diamond's position

In bestowing on universe highest ecstasy.

Scattering blood stained pearls on the groundReady to pounce with growling sound

If Thy devotee falls in his clutchesFirm in faith him no scratch touches.

Fierce fire fanned by ferocious gust

Of wind violent as Dooms day motion lustEmitting white flames threatening to devourWhole of the universe in less than an hour

Extinguishes and there appears a pool with lotus flowersThe recitation of Thy name acts as pouring shower.

furious fire, horrible sea

Turbulent war devastating imprisonment rigorous.
