what is the prakrut name of Arihant
In Prakrut (Jain Ardhamāgadhī), “Arihant” is written and spoken as:
णमो अरिहंताणं ṇamo arihaṁtāṇaṁ – “I bow to the Arihants.”
So, the Prakrut word is “अरिहंत / अरिहंताणं” (arihanta / arihaṁtāṇaṁ).
- Sanskrit: अरिहन्त (Arihanta)
- Prakrut (Ardhamāgadhī): अरिहंत / अरिहंताणं (Arihanta / Arihaṁtāṇaṁ)
Both Digambar and Shwetambar traditions use essentially the same Prakrut form in the Navkār Mantra: “णमो अरिहंताणं” – this is the standard Prakrut form for Arihant there.
