Editor's Notes
As long as a person performs sämäyika maintaining full control over all his threefold actions i.e. of mind, speech and body, all the harmful karmas continue to be destroyed. 1
In a sämäyika a layperson becomes like an ascetic and for that reason alone it should be performed often. 2
While taking vow, performing and or completing sämäyika, if I have committed any faults of mind, speech and body and caused any harm to any living being, may those faults be forgiven and become fruitless. 3
may those faults be forgiven and become fruitless. 3

( Chaturvimshati-Stav) Sakra meaning Indra Shakarendra is the supreme god of the heaven, known as Saudharma heaven. Due to his special clairvoyance knowledge he immediately knows whenever the soul of a Tirthankar Bhagawān is conceived. Shakrendra then assumes a specific posture (as depicted in the diagram below) and recites Namutthunam Sutra.
Upon attaining Keval-jnān, the first thing Tirthankar Bhagawān does is to re-establish the four-fold Jain Sangha, which consists of Sādhu, Sādhvi, Shrāvak, and Shrāvikā. The Jain Sangha is also known as a Tirtha, and which explains why Bhagawān is known as Tirthankar 3. 1. In general all those who attain Keval-jnān except Tirthankaras, generally have a spiritual Guru, who preach and/or guide them to attain Moksha. However, those who are destined to become Tirthankaras are self-realized. They attain Keval-jnān and Moksha without the help of a spiritual Guru. That is why Tirthankar Bhagawān is also known as Svayam Sambuddha (self realized).
compared to lions because of their courage in combating the enemies which are karmas, Pundarik variety of lotus is considered the very best variety of lotus. Lotus flowers grow in mud and water, but they themselves remain clean and beautiful, untouched by the impurities of mud and the lure of water. Like the lotus flower, Tirthankar Bhagawān remains untouched by the passions and the material pleasures of the world. Tirthankar Bhagawān is serene, beautiful and eye pleasing and is thus compared to the Pundarik variety of lotus flower.
Gandha-hasti elephant is regarded as the noblest of the beast "According to legend perfumed elephant (Gandha Hasti) is considered the noblest animal because it emanates a powerful fragrance because of which all other animals and enemies stay away. Similarly, the fragrance of Tirthankar Bhagawān’s absolute purity keeps all natural calamities, unhappiness, and all diseases away. Thus, Tirthankar Bhagawān here is compared as a noblest of noble (Gandh Hasti) among humans".
Abhayadaan Just as a lamp brightens a dark space, Tirthankar Bhagawān illuminates the darkness of spiritual ignorance and enlightens us in regards to spirituality. He shows us the path leading to liberation. Thus, Tirthankar Bhagawān is compared to a lamp and said to be an illuminator.
Tirthankar Bhagawān is the supreme example of compassion and friendliness. Therefore, no living being is ever afraid of him. Likewise, Tirthankar Bhagawān is never afraid of anything or anybody. Thus, Tirthankar Bhagawān teaches us to be compassionate and extend fearlessness to all living beings
Varanana = absolute dansan = absolute darshan, perception, A Chakravarti (supreme king) has conquered all his enemies to attain this title. Similarly, Tirthankar Bhagawān has conquered all his true inner enemies (namely anger, ego, deceit, and greed) and thereby, he has ended the cycles of birth and death. Thus, Tirthankar is the beholder of Dharma Cha
Tinnanam = swimming Buddhanam = knower of tattvas bohayanam = inspirers of enlightened faith muttanam = liberated from karma Moaganam = help others to be free from karma
Siva = free from calamity ayal = steadfast arua – free from diseases ananta = endless akkhaya = imperishable, non reversible state of liberartion
Avvabaha = without pain apunaravitti = without any re-birth
The last stanza of Namutthunam Sutra describes Moksha. Jain scriptures call this place Siddha-shilā, which is located at the very top of the universe. It is the ultimate abode for liberated souls. A liberated soul has ended the cycles of birth and death and stays on the Siddha-shilā forever with everlasting peace and ultimate bliss. Since the liberated souls have no physical body, there are no movements, no bodily pains or ailments, and no mental anguish.
Bhavissanti = who will be siddha Tivihena = threefold way, by mind, speech and body In the threefold way (by mind, speech & body), I pay homage & obeisance to the Lord who is there, and may the Revered Lord from there cast his gracious glances at me here.
