Part I — Lord Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara

Mahavira: Pilgrim of the Highest

```

Mahavira, Mahavira, Mahavira!

In prayerful supplication I bow my head to you.

Do accept my soulful obeisance.

O Pilgrim of the Highest, ever wandering free,

Your Heart is a ceaseless Compassion-Fountain.

O Vardhamana, O Vardhamana, O Vardhamana!

By virtue of sleepless and breathless askesis

You made the discovery supreme:

Each bondage-life can and shall attain

Liberation of the Beyond. ```
