    jain stavan that goes like "Saiyam kari Shakandi guru a saune bat...."

    That line resembles a line from a popular Jain stavan (devotional hymn) tradition focused on Saiyam (self-control/auspicious restraint). It is not a canonical Jain sutra, but a devotional stavan often sung during pratikraman, parna, samayik, or tapas-arpan moments. The exact wording you quoted can vary by region and community.

    Here is a simple, common sense construction from Saiyam-themed stavan tradition (non-canonical devotional style). If you want the precise, scripture-based version, I can help look up a specific manuscript, but keep in mind many Saiyam stavan texts are folk/adapted hymns rather than fixed sutras.

    • Sample meaning (arth) in simple words:
    - We bow to the virtue of self-control that lights the inner soul. - Through discipline and vows (upsav, ayambil, niyam), the soul’s path brightens. - We seek the purification of mind and speech, and the strength to let go of attachments. - With grace from Arihant, Siddha, and Guru, we strive for inner victory. - Forgiveness and humility are encouraged; the path of restraint leads to liberation.

    Important notes:

    • There are variations between Digambar and Shwetambar communities in wording and emphasis, but the core bhav (spiritual sentiment) remains the same: reverence for saiyam, guru, and the aim of self-purification.
    • The line you provided is characteristic of the modern Saiyam stavan tradition rather than a fixed canonical text.
