Aso Panch Namokaro की rachna kisne ki thi? — iska koi ek lekha-likha lekhak nahi hai. Navkar Mantra Jain dharma ki canonical mantra hai jo kai-sadiyon mein Jain muni-arth vyavhar aur shikshan ke saath sanrachit hua hai. Isliye isey ek nishchit “author” ya “rachayita” se jodna sahi nahi hota; yeh Jain sampradaya ke anek rishiyon aur guruon ke mil-jul kar rachit hindsa ki tarah maana jaata hai.

Dharm-sanket (Digambar aur Shwetambar) ke hisaab se mantr ki mool arth chikitsa rakhta hai, lekin vaakya-krama ya shabdon mein chhoti-moti sanskaran (bhed) dono paramparao mein milta hai. Navkar Mantra “Arihant, Siddh, Acharya, Upadhyaya, Sadhu” ki pooja karta hai aur pancha parameshti ko samarpit hota hai.

Agar chaho to main Navkar Mantra ki asli padhati (shabd) aur dono paramparaon mein uchcharan/artha ke antar ke baare mein spasht arth ke saath bataa sakta/ sakti hoon.
