In Digambar Jain practice, Pakshal (the ritual washing and puja of the Mulnayak) commonly begins with chanting the Namokar Mantra. This mantra is the central prayer in Jain puja and meditation, and is recited to honor the Tirthankaras and uplift the mind before the ceremony. The exact texts used can vary by family or temple, but the Namokar Mantra is the core invocation in Digambar Pakshal.

If you’d like, I can share the standard Namokar text and how it’s typically recited in Digambar Pakshal, and note any local variations between Digambar and Shvetambar traditions.

Note: If you want, I can provide the exact original verses (Ardhamagadhi texts) and their Jain-anchored meanings in Digambar and Shvetambar contexts.
