It is astonishing that I too begin a eulogy of that first Jina (Bhagavan Adinatha).

Bhaktamar Stotra by Acarya Manatunga # 1

bhakAmarapraNatamaulimaNiprabhANAM

uddyotakaM dalitapApatamovitAnaM

Reflector of the gems in the crowns of the demi-gods who worship you,

Destroyer of the dark clusters of sins,

Saviour of those who were stuck in the cycle of transmigration from the beginning of time,

I worship such a Jina's feet with true devotion.

Selections from Vira Bhakti

ye viira-paadau pranamanti nityam
dhyaana-sthitaah samyama yoga yuktah
te viita-shoka hi bhavanti lokai
samsaara-durga vishamam taranti

Those who worship the feet of Vira {Mahavira} continually,
Remaining in meditation and undertaking restraint,
Attain freedom from sorrow in this world
And transcend the citadel of transmigration.

Excerpt from Kalpasutra - 2

taye nam samane bhagavam mahaaviire arahaa jaaye jine kevalii savvannuu savvadarisii sadevamanuyaasurassa logassa pariyaayam jaanai paasai, savvaloe savvajiivaanam aagaim gatim thiim cavanam uvavaayam takkam mano maanasiyam bhuttam kadam padiseviyam aavikammam rahokammam arahaa arihassa bhaagii, tam tam kaalam manavayanakaayajoge vattamaanaanam savvaloye savvajiivaanam savvabhaave jaanamaane paasamaane viharati [121]

Thus, the ascetic Bhagavan Mahavira became an Arihanta, Jina and Kevali, knowing and seeing all. He could perceive all the demigods, humans, and demons of the world in all their manifestations. He knew the arrival, form of life, duration of life, birth, misfortunes, reasoning, thought processes, food habits and actions, whether open or secret, of all the living beings in all the worlds.

To an Arihanta, there are no secrets. As he wanders, he knows and perceives all the acts of mind, speech and body taking place at that time, and the dispositions of all the living beings in all the worlds.

Excerpt from Kalpasutra - 1

vijayenam muhuttenam jambhiyagaamassa nagarassa bahiyaa ujuvaaliyaae naiie tiire veyaavattassa ceiiyassa aduurasaamante saamaagassa katthakaranasmi saalapaayavassa ahe godohiyaae ukkuduyanisijjaaye aayaavanaaye aayaavemaanassa chatthenam bhattenam apaanayenam hatthuttaraahim nakkattenam jogamuvaagaenam jhaanamtariyaae vattamaanassa anamte anuttare nivvaaghaaye niraavarane kasine padipunne kevalavaranaanadamsane samupanne [120]

 During the Vijaya muhurta {a certain time of the day}, outside the city of Jrmbhika on the banks of the river Rjuvalika, in proximity of a temple in disrepair, in the fields of a householder named Shyamaka, beneath a Shala tree {Latin name – vatica robusta}, seated in the godohika posture {seated with heels together, as if milking a cow} of meditation, practising the penance known as atapana {penance under the hot sun}, when he had completed two days of a three day fast known as Chhatta, under the constellation known as Hastottara, the meditating Vardhamana attained the boundless, excellent, agitation-free, obstruction-free, entire and perfect omnitude of knowledge and perception.
