Answer

This mantra is generally understood as a devotional salutation to Lord Pārśvanātha and the pure Jina-energy. Its power lies in faith, concentration, protection, inner purification, and remembrance of the qualities of an Arihant/Jina.

Explanation

A simple meaning of the mantra is:

• Om — a sacred auspicious sound
• Hrīm / Shrim — seed sounds used to deepen devotion and spiritual energy
• Arham — salutation to the perfected, enlightened, pure soul
• Namiūn / Namah — “I bow” or “I offer salutations”
• Pāsa — Lord Pārśvanātha
• Viśahar Vāsah — “the remover of poison and harmful afflictions,” a protective epithet connected with Lord Pārśvanātha
• Jin phulinga — the radiant spark or essence of the Jina
• Swāhā — an offering, completion of the mantra

So, in simple words, the mantra means:

“I bow to Lord Pārśvanātha, the protector, remover of harmful poison and obstacles, and to the radiant pure Jina within.”
