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.
