The importance of this text has been presented by him in the following verse.
• Patit Jan Pävani, Sur Saritä Sami, Adham Uddhärini Atmasiddhi; Janma Janmäntaro Jänatä Jogie, Ätma Anubhav Vade Äj Didhi. Bhakta Bhagirath Samä, Bhagyashäli Mahä, Bhavya Saubhägyani Vinatithi; Chäruttar Bhoominä, Nagar Nadiadamän, Poorna Krupä Prabhue Kari'ti.
The first line states that Ätmasiddhi Shästra purifies the down-trodden like the heavenly river Ganga and it uplifts even those, who have fallen to the lowest level. The second line states that the composition has been brought out of Self-experience of the great ascetic, who knew many of his previous lives. Since it was brought out at the request of Saubhägyabhäi, he has been compared in the third line with king Bhagirath, who brought down the holy river Ganga. The remaining part of the third line and the last line state that Shrimad has extended the utmost favour by composing it at Nadiäd in the region of Charotar.
With this background, let us recite the blissful Namokkär Mantra and other Mängliks so as to go ahead with this work without encountering any difficulty.
• Namo Arihantänam (Obeisance to the omniscient Lords) Namo Siddhanam (Obeisance to the liberated Lords) Namo Äyariyanam (Obeisance to the heads of religious order)
