    The words of chaityavandan in shwetambers

    11 months ago 53

    Shvetambar Chaityavandan (Chaityavandan) in temples typically includes a sequence of sutras and prostrations. The common starting sutra is Jagchintamani Chaityavandan, followed by other lines like Logassa Sutra, Khamasaman, Chattari Mangalam, and Tassa Uttari. The exact order and the exact texts can vary a little by gaccha or temple, but the core aim remains the same: bowing to the Tirthankaras, cultivating humility and mindfulness, and seeking purifications of conduct. In Digambar tradition, Chaityavandan as a fixed liturgy is not always practiced in the same form; they have their own temple rites and stotra practices. If you want the precise original text for a typical Shvetambar Chaityavandan sequence, I can provide that following the standard form used in many temples.

    Original text (Jagchintamani Chaityavandan), commonly recited in Shvetambar temples:

    • Jagchintamani, Jagnäh, Jagguru, Jagrakkhan, Jagbandhav, Jagsatthaväh, Jagbhävviakkhan, Atthävaysanthaviaruv, Kamatthavinäsan, Chausampi Jinavar Jayantu Appadihay Säsan.

    Meaning (arth) in brief:

    • Jagchintamani = desire-yielding jewel of the world
    • Jagnäh = Lord of the world
    • Jagguru = preceptor of the world
    • Jagrakkhan = protector of the world
    • Jagbandhav = true relative of the world
    • Jagsatthaväh = world caravaner
    • Jagbhävviakkhan = expert of world modes
    • Atthävaysanthaviaruv, Kamatthavinäsan = phrases invoking steadfastness and the removal of faults
    • Jains pronounce reverence to the Jain order and its teachers; the line ends with a dedication to the chain of authority and the welfare of beings.

    If you want the rest of the Chaityavandan sutras (Logassa, Khamasaman, Chattari Mangalam, Tassa Uttari) with their exact words and meanings, I can lay them out similarly, matching the Shvetambar practice you follow.
