The widely chanted forty-verse eulogy dedicated to Bhagwan Parshvanath, the 23rd Tirthankara, revered as the supreme dispeller of distress (*Sankatmochana*) and embodiment of forgiveness during Kamath's upasarga.

शीश नवा अरिहंत को, सिद्धन करूँ प्रणाम। उपाध्याय आचार्य का, ले सुखकारी नाम॥ सर्व साधु और सरस्वती, जिन मन्दिर सुखकार। अहिंसा धर्म को वन्दना, करूँ बारम्बार॥
Śīśa navā arihanta ko, siddhana karūṁ praṇāma | upādhyāya ācārya kā, le sukhakārī nāma || sarva sādhu aura sarasvatī, jina mandira sukhakāra | ahiṁsā dharma ko vandanā, karūṁ bārambāra ||
Hindi Meaning

अरिहंत देव को मस्तक झुकाकर और सिद्ध परमेष्ठी को प्रणाम करके, सुखदायी आचार्य और उपाध्याय का नाम लेकर, सर्व दिगंबर साधुओं, जिनवाणी सरस्वती और पवित्र जिनालयों को बारम्बार वंदना करता हूँ।

English Translation
