ĀTMĀNUŚĀSANA – PRECEPT ON THE SOUL by Ācārya GUṆABHADRA (ca. 818–900 A.D.) [269]
Gātha 268
This way, using a few words, this useful work (for performance of the four adorations) [note 1] has been composed. This will be enchanting to the hearts of the men with noble thoughts. May the potential-souls (bhāvya) [note 2], who ponder this composition continuously and wholly, soon get rid of all adversities and attain the Lakṣmī of liberation!

Note 1:
The four adorations (arādhanā) are of
(1) right faith (samyagdarśana),
(2) right knowledge (samyagjñāna),
(3) right conduct (samyakcāritra) and
(4) right austerities (samyaktapa).
