    Darshanam deva devastated stuti with meaning

    8 months ago 231

    Here is the Darshan Stuti you are asking about:

    मूल स्तुति (Sanskrit / Hindi)

    दर्शनं देव‑देवस्य, दर्शनं पाप‑नाशनम्। दर्शनं स्वर्ग‑सोपानं, दर्शनं मोक्ष‑साधनम्॥

    ---

    Transliteration

    darśanam deva‑devasya, darśanam pāpa‑nāśanam, darśanam svarga‑sopānam, darśanam mokṣa‑sādhanam.

    (Some traditions recite “darshanam deva‑devasya” or “svarg sopānam” – the meaning remains the same.)

    ---

    सरल अर्थ (Simple Meaning – line by line)

    1. “darśanam deva‑devasya” “देवों के भी देव (तीर्थंकर) के दर्शन” – The sight (darshan) of the Deva‑deva – the Lord of Lords, i.e. Tirthankar Bhagwan.

    2. “darśanam pāpa‑nāśanam” “यह दर्शन पापों का नाश करने वाला है।” – This holy darshan destroys sinful tendencies and impure thoughts.

    3. “darśanam svarga‑sopānam” “यह दर्शन स्वर्ग का सोपान (पहला सीढ़ी‑पग) है।” – This darshan is like the first step of the ladder leading to heavenly states (good births, punya).

    4. “darśanam mokṣa‑sādhanam” “और यही दर्शन आगे चलकर मोक्ष का साधन बनता है।” – This same right darshan ultimately becomes a means for liberation (moksha).

    ---

    भावार्थ (Inner Jain meaning)

    • यहाँ “देव‑देव” से साधारण देव (इन्द्र आदि) नहीं, बल्कि वितराग तीर्थंकर भगवान का बोध है।
    • मूर्ति या जिनप्रतिमा के दर्शन का सही भाव से करना:
    - मन को शांत व निर्मल करता है, - पापकर्मी वासनाओं को घटाता है, - आगे के शुभ जन्म और अंततः मोक्ष के मार्ग की प्रेरणा देता है।

    इसलिए यह छोटा सा श्लोक सामान्यतः

    • मंदिर में प्रवेश करते समय,
    • जिनप्रतिमा के प्रथम दर्शन पर,
    • या पूजन/आरती से पहले
    श्वेतांबर और दिगंबर – दोनों परंपराओं में पढ़ा जाता है।

    परंपरा के अनुसार भेद

    • श्वेतांबर / दिगंबर दोनों में यह चौपदी प्रचलित है; शब्दों में केवल हल्का उच्चारण/लिपि‑अंतर मिल सकता है (जैसे dev‑devasya / dev‑devasya), पर arth (अर्थ) और भाव एक ही हैं।
