Utility:
Shakarendra is the supreme god of the heaven, known as Saudharma heaven. Due to his special clairvoyance knowledge he immediately knows whenever the soul of a Tirthankar Bhagawan is conceived. Shakrendra then assumes a specific posture (as depicted in the diagram below) and recites Namutthunam Sutra. Therefore, this Sutra is also known as Shakra Stava Sutra and Pranipat-danda Sutra. This Sutra enumerates the virtues of Tirthankar and offers obeisance to all Tirthankaras and omniscients.
