    Namothunam after sootra

    11 months ago 81

    Namokar (Namōkāra) mantra—often chanted after a stotra or at the start of prayer—is the central Jain salutation. The standard form is the fivefold Namokar:

    Namō Arihantanāṁ Namō Siddhānāṁ Namō Āryaṇāṁ Namō Muniṇāṁ Namō Śādhīnāṁ

    Arth (meaning)

    • Namō Arihantanāṁ: I bow to the Arihants (enlightened beings who have conquered inner passions and attained kevala jñāna).
    • Namō Siddhānāṁ: I bow to the Siddhas (liberated souls who have conquered all karma and dwelt in Moksha).
    • Namō Āryaṇāṁ: I bow to the Acharyas (spiritual teachers who guide the Jain sangha).
    • Namō Muniṇāṁ: I bow to the Sādhu/monks (monastic guardians who practice and preserve the path).
    • Namō Śādhīnāṁ: I bow to all spiritual seekers and to those who have renounced the world.

    Notes

    • This fivefold salutation is common to both Digambar and Śvetāmbar traditions, though there can be minor pronunciation or ending variants in different lineages.
    • If you want, I can provide the script in Devanagari or a transliteration, or explain how it is used in a specific stotra context.
