Bhaktamar Stotra is a revered Jain hymn in praise of Adinath (Rishabhanatha), the first Tirthankara. It is a devotional, poetic work written in Sanskrit and is widely used in both Digambara and Śvetāmbara communities.

Key points (arth) to know:

• Author and purpose: Traditionally attributed to the sage-poet Mantunga, the stotra is a devotional hymn that extols the luminous, perfect nature of a Jina and expresses deep bhakti (devotion) to the liberated soul. It is part of the broader tradition of Nava-smaraṇas (nine remembrances) used in Jain worship. ( jainpedia.org)
• Structure and language: The verses are composed in the meter called vasantatilakā, with four lines per verse. The core text is Sanskrit. In Śvetāmbara tradition, the canonical version has 44 verses; in Digambara tradition, it is 48 verses. The difference stems from interpolated verses that Śvetāmbaras do not include in their main recitation. ( jainpedia.org)
• Core themes:

- The Jina’s radiance, wisdom, bliss, and dispassion. - The supreme nature of a liberated soul beyond karma and rebirth. - Protective and auspicious power of the mantra-names, often described as a divine shelter against various fears. - A strong emphasis on devotion (bhakti) as a means to realize the ideal of a Jina and to cultivate virtuous conduct. ( jainpedia.org)

• Digambara vs Śvetāmbara differences (traditional):

- Śvetāmbara tradition recites 44 verses (the so-called core text); some verses present in other recensions are treated as interpolations by Śvetāmbaras. - Digambaras recite 48 verses, and their version includes four additional stanzas (which Śvetāmbaras typically do not include in the main text). Despite this, both communities honor Bhaktamar as a central devotional hymn and use it in pūjā. ( jainpedia.org)

• Cultural and devotional significance: It is among the most popular Jain prayers, frequently read or chanted in homes and temples, and associated with yantra imagery and a tradition of bhaktāmara-pūjā (worship of the Bhaktamar). ( jainpedia.org)
