Bhaktamar Stotra is a Jain Sanskrit hymn in praise of Lord Adinath (Ṛṣabhanātha), the first Tirthankara. It is traditionally attributed to the monk Mānātuṅga and is held in high reverence by both Digambara and Śvetāmbara communities. The Śvetāmbara and Digambara traditions differ mainly in the number of verses: Śvetāmbaras recite 44 verses, while Digambaras recite 48. The stotra is composed in the vasantatilakā meter and each verse extols the Jina’s radiant purity, perfection, and benevolent power. The overall message is bhakti (devotion) to a liberated Jina and the belief that faith and reverent praise can grant protection, remove fear, and help one progress toward moksha. The themes emphasize the Jina’s pristine knowledge, bliss, and fearlessness, and they highlight the transformative power of sincere devotion.

Key points in arth (meaning):

• The Jina’s feet and radiance illuminate the world; the devotee’s praise elevates both the Jina and the devotee.
• The Jina is described as with unsurpassed light, serenity, and perfection; ordinary gods and humans gain strength and guidance through devotion.
• Reciting or meditating on the stotra is believed to remove fear, offer protection, and aid spiritual upliftment; specific verses are often linked to particular blessings.
• The text is part of the Nava-smaraṇas (nine remembrances) and is widely used in Jain worship across traditions.

Note on differences:

• Digambaras: 48 verses.
• Śvetāmbaras: 44 verses (the Śvetāmbara recension is considered complete with 44; some later interpolations are found in other recensions but not always counted in the main Śvetāmbara text). Despite the difference in count, both traditions treat Bhaktamar as a central devotional hymn praising the Jina.
