भक्तामर स्त्रोत- 5

Sanskrit Sloka

सोऽहं तथापि तव भक्ति वशान्मुनीश ।
कर्तुं स्तवं विगतशक्तिरपि प्रवृत्तः ॥
प्रीत्यऽऽत्मवीर्यमविचार्य मृगो मृगेन्द्रं ।
नाभ्येति किं निजशिशोः परिपालनार्थम् ॥५॥

Hindi Meaning

हे मुनीश! तथापि-शक्ति रहित होता हुआ भी, मैं- अल्पज्ञ, भक्तिवश, आपकी स्तुति करने को तैयार हुआ हूँ| हरिणि, अपनी शक्ति का विचार न कर, प्रीतिवश अपने शिशु की रक्षा के लिये, क्या सिंह के सामने नहीं जाती? अर्थात जाती हैं|

Pronunciation

soaham tathapi tava bhakti vashanmunisha
kartum stavam vigatashaktirapi pravrittah |
prityaaatmaviryamavicharya mrigo mrigendram
nabhyeti kim nijashishoh paripalanartham ॥ 5 ॥

Explanation (English)

O Apostle of apostles ! I am incapable of narrating your infinite virtues. Still, inspired by my devotion for you, I intend to compose a hymn in your praise. It is well known that to protect her fawn, even a doe puts her feet down and faces a lion, forgetting its own fraility. (Similarly, devotion is forcing me to face the great task of composing the hymn without assessing my own capacity.)

Hindi Meaning

हे गुणों के भंडार! आपके चन्द्रमा के समान सुन्दर गुणों को कहने लिये ब्रहस्पति के सद्रश भी कौन पुरुष समर्थ है? अर्थात् कोई नहीं| अथवा प्रलयकाल की वायु के द्वारा प्रचण्ड है मगरमच्छों का समूह जिसमें ऐसे समुद्र को भुजाओं के द्वारा तैरने के लिए कौन समर्थ है अर्थात् कोई नहीं|

Explanation (English)

O Ocean of virtues! Can even Brihaspati, the guru of gods, with the help of his unlimited wisdom, narrate your virtues transparent and blissful as the moon? (certainly not.) Is it possible for a man to swim across the reptile infested ocean, lashed by gales of deluge? (certainly not.)

Lord Mahavir Quotes

Lord Mahavir 

• The greatest mistake of a soul is non-recognition of its real self and can only be corrected by recognizing itself.
• Silence and Self-control is non-violence.
• Every soul is independent. None depends on another
• There is no separate existence of God. Everybody can attain God-hood by making supreme efforts in the right direction.
• Every soul is in itself absolutely omniscient and blissful. The bliss does not come from outside.
• Have compassion towards all living beings. Hatred leads destruction.
• Respect for all living beings is non‑violence.
• All human beings are miserable due to their own faults, and they themselves can be happy by correcting these faults.
• Non-violence is the highest religion
• A man is seated on top of a tree in the midst of a burning forest. He sees all living beings perish. But he doesn't realize that the same fate is soon to overtake him also. That man is fool.
• Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who conquers himself through himself, will obtain happiness.

Explanation (English)

When the Gods bow down at the feet of Bhagavan Rishabhdeva divine glow of his nails increases shininess of jewels of their crowns. Mere touch of his feet absolves the beings from sins. He who submits himself at these feet is saved from taking birth again and again. I offer my reverential salutations at the feet of Bhagavan Rishabhadeva, the first Tirthankar, the propagator of religion at the beginning of this era.
