First, I beg forgiveness from the present Tirthankars26 and Kevali Lords, who dwell in the Panch
Mahavideha Kshetra27 (in the universe).
See two pictures in back of the book, one labeled, “Universe according to Jainism” and another one labeled, “2-1/2 Land Rings”
These Tirthankars have perfect knowledge, perfect perception, perfect conduct, perfect austerity, perfect patience and unlimited vigor.
The Tirthankars bear 34 unique qualities 35 special qualities of speech (everyone understands words are clear, complete meaning, without suspicion, etc),1008 excellencies, are devoid of 18 faults (dosha) and bear 12 special virtues (like Ashoka tree, special umbrella, best seat, unique knowledge quality, unique speech qualities, etc.).They have 4 Ghäti Karma and will destroy 4 Aghäti Karma at the time of nirväna, and then will go to Moksha.
Blessed are those villages, cities, townships and the places where these Tirthankars are preaching. All living beings listening to preaching of, and seeing the Tirthankars must be purifying their souls.
Oh! Great Tirthankars ! You dwell in Panch Mahavideha Kshetra, and I, a sinner, humble servant, virtue-less, am sitting here. Any sins pertaining to your knowledge, perception, conduct and austerity, whatever disrespect, ill-behavior, ill-worship or offense have been committed, then with folded hands, shunning pride, and bowed head, I repeatedly beg for your forgiveness. TASSA MICHCHHÄ MI DUKKADAM.
