I pay my obeisance to all Jina temples and idols situated in upper universe, lower universe and in middle universe. I do perform reverential bowing down to all those places of salvation situated on Kailash Mountain, Sammed shikherji, Uurjayant Mountain, Champapur, Pavapur, Madhya Pava, Hastbalika, Mandap.

Furthermore, I pay obeisance to all those places of salvation situated in two & half continents (Adhai-dvipa), in two oceans and on the upper part of Moksh shila of all Siddhas, Buddha (enlightened souls) jeevas free from Karma-cycle, free from dust of Karmas, pure Guru, Aacharya, Upaddhyaya, Pravartak, Sadhu, (i.e. who may have little knowledge, but full knowledge of all rituals, limitations and decorum of the congregation of Muni), Stithvir Muni (Senior saints guiding traditions and conventions of the congregation to other saints of the congregation) and Gandharas. And all great sages, higher austere saints Muni and home-less ascetics, all this four-fold congregation found in five Bharat, five Airaavat and in five Videh regions and all other saints, abstemious saints (who adopt restraint), austere found up to Manusottar mountain, all of these may prove auspicious to me. I, whose all three Karans i.e., mind, speech and body, have become pure by eulogizing Jinendra Deva, Pratikraman (expiatory recitals) and spiritual study. I, becoming pure by disposition and keeping folded hands on my forehead, eulogize all these as described above after adoration of Siddha. Thus the fifth chapter of the Shree Gautam Gandhar Vani completes.
