I’m praying to you Jinavar deva!
I’m praying to you
Praying to you, I’m saying to you-2

I did not know about my soul,
I could not think about myself

Everybody doing the birth and death.

Unprotected are the souls of creatures
They are feeling fruition of Karmas.
Any body doesn’t help here…….I’m praying to you………2

And could not attain true happiness.

There is neither any friend nor enemy.

All relatives are different from me,

That condition is known by Samvar.

After the fruition of those Karmas,
Dissociation of them then takes place.
Two kinds of this holy Nirjara…..I’m praying to you….9

Which is divided in three Lokas.
We are wandering without knowledge….I’m praying to you…10
