Here are Gujarati books and resources on Bhaktamar Stotra (Bhaktambar) that you can look for:
- Bhaktamar Stotra Sarth (Gujarati) — a Gujarati rendering/explanation of the 48-stanza Bhaktamar Stotra (Digambara tradition uses 48 verses; Śvetāmbara often uses 44 with four added later as interpolations).

- Bhaktamar Stotra (Anvay-Arth Sahit) — a Gujarati edition with combined verse-by-verse explanations (Anvay-Arth) of the Bhaktamar Stotra, originally authored by Mantung (Acharya Manatunga).

Notes to keep in mind:
- The Bhaktamar Stotra is originally a Sanskrit hymn attributed to Manatunga. Digambara tradition traditionally counts 48 stanzas; Śvetāmbara tradition often uses 44 stanzas (with four verses considered interpolations). The Chinese-whatever-translation differences aside, the core devotional meaning remains the same. You can read more about the two versions here.
If you’d like, I can point you to a specific Gujarati edition you can buy or locate at a library, or provide a short, verse-by-verse Gujarati arth (meaning) from authentic Jain sources.
