MAHAVEERASHTAK STOTRA


Just as
substances in front of a mirror are reflected in it, in the same way all
animate and inanimate objects with their origination, disappearance and
permanence are at one and the same moment reflected in whose omniscience
and who is the seer and knower of the world and illumines the path of
spiritual perfection, just as the sun bestows its light on all the worldly
paths, I implore that Lord Mahaveer to stay in the path of my vision.

Both of
whose lotus eyes, without glimmer and redness, expose to the humans the
absence of external and internal passions like anger; whose appearance is
utterly pure and calm, I implore thee, Oh Lord Mahaveer, to stay in the
path of my vision.

Both of
whose lotus feet are illuminated with the brilliance of the gems of the
crowns of the Lord of the heavenly beings, who pacifies the flames of the
fire of agonies of the creatures of this world by his remembrance only
like water, I implore that perfection, incarnate Lord Mahaveer to stay in
the path of my vision.

When a
frog, happy with the eagerness to worship whose lotus feet, was blessed
with all the wath, bliss and comforts of heavenly life just in a moment,
there is no wonder if his devotees achieve that all pervading happiness of
the supreme state of our being, that is, they will certainly achieve that.
I request you, Oh Lord, of the three worlds, to stay in the path of my
vision.

From the
intinsic point of view, you who are just a mass of sentience and
externally without physical frame, though possessing a shining pure gold
like body; all the substance with their multifarious modifications are
being reflected in whose sentience, as such who is one indivisible and
many at one and the same time; who was unborn and yet was the son of
Maharaj Siddhartha; who is devoid of all the attachments of the worldly
existence, and yet is associated with perfect consciousness and the wealth
and luxuries of the religious congregation that is called the Samosharan,
I implore Thee, an abode of countless wonders Lord Mahaveer, to stay in
the path of my vision.

The Ganges
of whose divine voice is perfectly pure on account of the surging waves of
who always invites the living beings of this world to bathe in the
fathomless stream of whose omniscience, with which all the swan-like
learned souls are even now acquainted, I implore Thee Oh Lord of the
Lords, Mahaveer, to stay in the path of my visions.

Who is the
selfless force alone, in his boyhood, conquered the god of passions, whose
force is irresistible and who has won all the three worlds; consequently
who has become the sovreign of eternal happiness and everlasting vitality,
I implore Thee Oh Bhagwan Mahaveer to stay in the path of my vision.

Who is a
selfless physician to conquer the terrible disease of delusion, who is a
selfless brother to all the living beings, the whole world is acquainted
with whose grandeur, who is an instrument for the welfare of all without
any distinction, who is a refuge to the monks, who are frightened with
their wanderings of the worldly existence, that mass of all the good and
great attributes of line, God Mahaveer, pray stay in the path of my
vision.

Whosoever recites or hears this Mahaveerashtak written with great
reverence by Poet Bhagchand, attains supreme bliss.
