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

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).
