Parshavanath bhagwan mantra
In Jain Dharma, the main and highest mantra for Bhagwan Parshvanath (and all Tirthankars) is always the Navkar (Namokar) Mantra. Every Jain sect – Digambar and Shwetambar – accepts this as the primary mantra.
1. Mool Mantra for Parshvanath Bhagwan
(used for all Tirthankars)Prakrit (original): णमो अरिहंताणं। णमो सिद्धाणं। णमो आयरियाणं। णमो उवज्झायाणं। णमो णल्लोए साव्वसाहूणं॥
Simple meaning:
- I bow to all Arihants (perfect souls with body).
- I bow to all Siddhas (liberated souls).
- I bow to all Acharyas (heads of the Jain order).
- I bow to all Upadhyayas (spiritual teachers).
- I bow to all Sadhus (saints, monks, nuns).
By this, we also bow to Bhagwan Parshvanath, because he is an Arihant / Siddha.

2. Short Namaskar Mantra for Parshvanath Bhagwan
Many devotees also lovingly recite a short, simple mantra like:
Sanskrit: नमो श्री पार्श्वनाथ जिनेन्द्राय।
Meaning (very simple):
- I bow to Bhagwan Parshvanath, the Jina (victor over inner passions).
This is a respectful, pure Jain way to remember him; there is no difference of meaning between Digambar and Shwetambar here – it is simply a namaskār (bowing).
