Old Gujarati stavan
There are several old Gujarati Jain stavan (hymns). The two most common ones people refer to are:
- Navkar Stotra (Gujarati rendering): a praise of the nama-sankhya (names of the Tirthankaras) in a form used by many Gujarati readers.
- Kayotsarga Stotra: a brief stotra focusing on renunciation and the shedding of worldly attachments, also found in Gujarati renditions.
If you can tell me which specific stavan you have in mind (for example, Navkar Stotra in Gujarati or Kayotsarga Stotra in Gujarati), I will provide:
- the original Gujarati text as it appears in Jain scriptures,
- a clear, authentic Jain arth (meaning) based on traditional sources,
- notes on any differences between Digambar and Shwetambar traditions,
- and any relevant JainKnowledge.com page references (without exposing the full URLs).
