    Mantra for upvas parna

    10 months ago 251

    For upvas pārṇā (breaking the fast), there is no single fixed “only this” mantra in all Jain traditions. Most families do this simple and safe method:

    1. Sit calmly (preferably near Jin mandir or in a clean place).
    2. Recite Navkar Mantra with full devotion:

    ``` णमो अरिहंताणं । णमो सिद्धाणं । णमो आयरियाणं । णमो उवज्झायाणं । णमो लोए सव्वसाहूणं ॥ ```

    1. After Navkar, many also say:

    “मिच्छामि दुक्कडं” (arth: जो भी अशुभ हो गया हो, वह व्यर्थ हो जाए; सब मुझसे प्रसन्न रहें।)

    1. In some families, especially after longer fasts, people also say in their own words:

    - “आज के उपवास में अगर कोई भूल हो गई हो तो क्षमा करना।” - Then remember Arihant, Siddha, Āchārya, Upādhyāya, Sādhu‑sādhviji in mind.

    1. Then slowly do pārṇā

    - First take थोड़े गुनगुने उबाले हुए पानी के सिप - Then very हल्का, साधारण भोजन (जैसे पेय/खिचड़ी), धीरे‑धीरे, शांत मन से।

    Small notes (Digambar / Shwetambar)

    • Both sects: Navkar Mantra is completely common and best for pārṇā.
    • Extra shlok, stavan etc. can be added as per your family / guru / sangh – but Navkar + Micchhāmi Dukkaḍaṃ is always appropriate.
