FOUR BHAVNAS OR VIRTUES BESIDES THE TWELVE BHAVNAS DESCRIBED ABOVE JAINISM HAS LAID GREAT IMPORTANCE ON THE FOLLOWING FOUR BHAVNAS OR VIRTUES. · AMITY, LOVE, AND FRIENDSHIP - MAITRI · APPRECIATION, RESPECT AND JOY - PRAMODA · COMPASSION - KARUNA · EQUANIMITY AND TOLERANCE- MADHYASTHA FOLLOWING SONG DESCRIBES THESE FOUR BHAVNAS, AND THE TRANSLATION IS AS FOLLOWS: MAY THE SACRED STREAM OF AMITY FLOW FOREVER IN MY HEART. MAY THE UNIVERSE PROSPER, SUCH IS MY CHERISHED DESIRE. MAY MY HEART SING WITH ECSTASY AT THE SIGHT OF THE VIRTUOUS. MAY MY LIFE BE AN OFFERING AT THEIR FEET. MAY MY HEART BLEED AT THE SIGHT OF THE WRETCHED, THE CRUEL, THE IRRELIGIOUS. MAY TEARS OF COMPASSION FLOW FROM MY EYES. MAY I ALWAYS BE THERE TO SHOW THE PATH TO THE PATHLESS WANDERERS OF LIFE. YET IF THEY SHOULD NOT HEARKEN TO ME, MAY I BIDE IN PATIENCE. MAY THE SPIRIT OF GOODWILL ENTER ALL OUR HEARTS. MAY WE ALL SING IN CHORUS THE IMMORTAL SONG OF HUMAN CONCORD
