    Translation of mangal path

    9 months ago 231

    Here is a simple, Jain-dharma based translation of the common Mangal Path (mangal path), which is an auspicious recitation used to invoke blessings before starting a good or sacred act.

    What is Mangal Path?

    • It is a short collection of sacred lines recited to seek auspiciousness (mangal) and remove obstacles (pap, ignorance) from the mind and conduct.
    • In Jain tradition, the Manglik prayers usually emphasize veneration of the five revered spheres in Navakar mantra (Arihant, Siddha, Acharya, Upadhyaya, and Sadhu) and also praise the path of Dharma. The overall sense is to cultivate auspiciousness, protection from fault, and a blessèd start to the activity. It is common to both Śvetāmbara and Digambara communities, with only small textual/ritual variations in different communities. ( jainqq.org)

    A simple translation of the core lines (as commonly chanted in Manglik Path)

    • “Four auspicious ones are: Arihanta auspiciousness, Siddha auspiciousness, Saadhus (Sadhu) auspiciousness, and Keval Dharma auspiciousness.”
    • “We bow to the four refuges (the fourfold sacred support): Arihanta, Siddha, Sadhu, and Dharma.”
    • “May all beings in the world be auspicious; may adversity be removed; may all beings be happy.”
    • “May one live with harmony, free from faults, and may attachment and aversion be overcome, so that the joy of liberation remains with all beings.”

    Notes:

    • Mangal Path is often read together with the Navkar Mantra and other auspicious lines; among Jain practices, it is recognized as a general “auspicious blessing” to start any righteous activity.
    • If you want, I can provide the exact traditional items (text) of the Manglik Path as used in a specific Jain tradition (Śvetāmbara or Digambara) and translate line by line.
