Snātra Pūjā is quite long, and there are also slightly different wordings in different books and sanghs. So instead of a strict word‑for‑word “legal” translation (which I cannot reliably reproduce in full), I’ll give you:

• The simple English meaning (bhāvārth) of each main section
• A few sample lines in English style, so you can see how it is translated
• Guidance on how to get a complete booklet if you need it for regular use

This will keep the traditional Jain meaning intact and avoid guessing any missing lines.

1. Overall meaning of Snātra Pūjā

Snātra Pūjā describes and celebrates:

• The conception (chyavan) and birth (janma) of a Tīrthankar
• The heavenly celebration and abhishek (ritual bath) done by Indra on Mount Meru
• The supreme virtues of all 24 Tīrthankars
• A prayer that all living beings get peace, right faith, and progress towards moksha

It is not a request for worldly things. It is mainly:

• Praising the qualities of Jineshwar
• Purifying our own thoughts and conduct
• Remembering that our goal is vivek (right discrimination), samyak-darshan, samyak‑jñān, samyak‑chāritra

3. Sample “continuous” English version you can read as a prayer

You can read something like this alongside the original:

> O Lord Jineshwar, I bow to you – > the ocean of peace, knowledge, and infinite virtues. > Today I remember your holy conception and birth, > and the great celebration that took place on Mount Meru. > > Just as Indra bathed you with pure, fragrant waters, > I now bathe your idol with devotion, > praying that my inner impurities and karmas be washed away. > > I offer flowers at your feet. > May my heart bloom with non‑violence, humility, and right faith. > I offer incense and light this lamp. > May your teachings spread like fragrance > and may the light of right knowledge remove all ignorance from my mind. > > O compassionate Jineshwar, > may all living beings be free from fear and suffering. > May we all obtain right faith, > follow the vows taught by you, > and slowly move towards liberation. > > If there were any mistakes in this worship, > please forgive me. > I bow again to you and to all liberated souls, > wishing peace, friendship, and spiritual progress for all.

You can keep this as your simple English “translation‑style” text to accompany the traditional Snātra Pūjā.

4. For a full line‑by‑line booklet

For regular temple or home use, it’s best to use an authorized Snātra Pūjā book from your local Jain center, because:

• Exact verses may vary slightly by sangh / tradition (Śvetāmbara Mūrti‑pūjak, etc.)
• The same puja often comes with Gujarati/Hindi + English meaning side by side, approved by your local community

You can also read a basic Q&A style explanation about Snātra Pūjā on JainKnowledge here:

If you tell me which language/script you use for the original (Gujarati / Hindi / Devanagari / Roman), I can help you make a parallel “short English meaning” that you can keep next to each main paragraph of your specific book.
