Lesson - 7
Paramesthi-Vandana
Vandana ananda pulakita vinayanata ho mein karoon.
Eka laya ho eka rasa ho bhava-tanmayata varun
1. Namo Arahantanam
Sahaja nija aloka se bhashita svayam sambuddha hain,
Dharma-tirhankara shubhankara vitaraga vishuddh hain.
Gati pratishtha tranadata avarana se mukta hain,
Deva arhan divya-yogaja atishayon se yukta hain
2. Namo Siddhanam
Bandhanon ki shrinkhala se mukta shakti shrota hain,
Sahaja nirmala atmalaya mein satata otahprot hain,
Dagdha kara bhava bija ankura aruja aja avikara hain,
Siddha paramatma parama ishvara apunaravatara hain.
3. Namo Ayariyanam
Amalatama achara dhara mein svayam nishnata hain,
Dipa sama shata dipa dipanke liye prakhyata hain.
Dharama shasana ke dhurandhara dhira dharmacharya hain,
Prathama pada ke pravara pratinidhi pragati mein anivarya hain.
4. Namo Uvajjhayanam
Dvadashangi ke pravakta jnana garima punja hain,
Sadhana ke shanta upavana mein suramya nikunkja hain.
Sutra ke svadhyaya mein sahlagna rahate hain sada,
Upadhyaya mahan srutadhara dharma-shasana sampada.
5. Namo Loye Savvasahunam
Sada lavbha alabha mein sukha duhkha mein madhyastha hain,
Shantimaya vairagymaya anandamaya atmastha hain.
Vasana se virata akriti sahaja parama prasanna hain,
Sadhana dhana sadhu antarbhava mein asanna hain.
