Acharya Samantabhadra praised Tirthankara Ananta natha
With innumerable defects the heart is immersed in delusion from eternity,
O Conqueror Ananta! Thou won’st it in mirth of Thy fascinating knowledge of reality.
The self-blocking enemies of passion is not left the least by Thee O Lord!
The self-sucking arrogance of cupid is cured by Thy mediation's medicine, O Lord!
Lord ! river of thirst is filled with tiresome water, with waves of fearful emotion.
Thou dried’st it up by Thy bright penance’s sun, attained high abode of salvation.
Thy devotee gets prosperity, enemies, like dropping of letter syllables, disappear. Thou art indifferent on both, it is Thy astonishing phase, quite peculiar.
Thou art Lord, like this, like that-this is brooding, chattering of my poor intellect. Infinite is Thy glory, indescribable imparts liberation like touching nectar’s sea, infact.
