These four are the most auspicious benefactors in the universe:
The arihants, the siddhas, the ascetics (including Acharyas, Upadhayas, and Sadhus/Sadhvis), and the religion expounded by the omniscient beings.

A benefactor is one who possesses the ability to remove sins and bring real happiness. The Panch Parmesthis are the embodiment of benefaction and devotion to them brings supreme happiness.

These four are the most divine and supreme in the universe:
The arihants, the siddhas, the ascetics, and the religion expounded by the omniscient beings.

May I take refuge in these four:
The arihants, the siddhas, the ascetics, and the religion expounded by the omniscient beings.

A person taking refuge in the Panch Parmesthis obtains bliss and becomes free from all miseries, such as the cycle of birth and death.
