Uvasaggaharam Stotra typically has 7 stanzas (shlokas). In many traditions, a longer 11-stanza version is not the standard form you’ll find in primary Jain texts. The well-attested form is the 7-stanza version, which is widely recited for removing obstacles and difficulties. The text below is the traditional 7-stanza form as shared in Jain knowledge resources, followed by a simple, authentic meaning (arth).

Meaning (arth) in plain terms

• The stotra is a respectful prayer to Parshvanath, the 23rd Tirthankara, requested to remove obstacles, fears, suffering, and harm from the devotee’s life.
• Each verse praises Parshvanath’s compassionate power and asks him to shield the devotee, grant auspiciousness, and relieve worry, disease, and misfortune.

Traditions and variations (Digambar vs. Shwetambar)

• The core meaning and the core recipient (Parshvanath) are common to both Digambar and Śvetāmbara Jain traditions.
• The wording can have minor pronunciation or phrasing differences in some local recensions, but the essential seven-stanza form shown above is the widely cited version in modern practice. If a temple tradition uses a variant, the difference is usually minor and does not alter the main meaning or purpose.
