Navkar Mantra (Namokar Mantra) ke baare mein sahaara:

• Ye Jain dharm ka mukhya stotra hai jo paanch muktis kamaane wale paadharthon ki stuti karta hai: Arihant, Siddha, Acharya, Upadhyaya, aur Sadhu.

• Shabd-roop (mool text) ki pramukh roopantar ya spelling Digambar aur Śvetāmbara ke beech thoda alag ho sakta hai, lekin arth same hota hai. Sabhi jagah kaam aane wala mukhya mantra yeh hai:

Namo Arihantanam Namo Siddhhanam Namo Ayariyanam Namo Uvariyananam Namo Loe Savva Sahunam Esto Panch Namokar

• Arth (mool arth):

- Namo Arihantanam: main Arihanta (enlightened beings) ki naman ki karta hoon. - Namo Siddhhanam: main Siddho ki naman karta hoon (jinhe moksha mil chuki hai). - Namo Ayariyanam: main ācāryon/śikshak-prakar ki naman karta hoon (upadhyaya ya guru-gan ki pratima). - Namo Uvariyananam: main shikshak/upadhyayar ki naman karta hoon (jo dharm ke jaankaar sikhate hain). - Namo Loe Savva Sahunam: main sabhi saadhuso ki ham-sahyakta ke saath sharan karta hoon. - Esto Panch Namokar: yeh paanch naam mere man, vachan, karmo me shanti aur samarpan laate hain.

• Digambar vs Śvetāmbara ke beech antar:

- Kuch shuddha shabdon ki chhoti-moti vadliyan ho sakti hain, par arth wahi hota hai: paanch tattvo ka samman aur dharm-prakash ki prarthana. - Dharmik vyakhya mein kuch sthalon par “Arihantanam” ya “Arihantanāṁ” ya “Arihantānaṁ” jaise roop milte hain; anya shabd roopon mein thoda bhinnata ho sakti hai par maana ki baat wahi hai.

• Dhyan aur abhyas ke sandarbh:

- Navkar Mantra anya devon ya stotraon ke mukhya-vilakshan nahi, balki Jain sadhak ko Aradhana ke liye dhairya, virakti aur samarpan ki or le jaata hai. - Ise din ki shuruaat ya pratah-pooja, ya pranam ke samay padha ja sakta hai.

Agar aap chahen to main Navkar Mantra ki vyakaranik vyakhya (arth) ko aur vistar se Digambar ya Śvetāmbara parampara ke anuroop alag-alag vyakhya ke saath bhi samjha sakta hoon.
