In Swetambar tradition what is detailed list of all names as per bharhesar sajjay
In the Śvetāmbara Jain tradition, the Bārhesar Sajjay (also known as Bārhasī Sajjhāy) is a popular recitation that lists the names of the 12 primary disciples (Ganadharas) of Lord Mahavira. The term "Bārhesar" comes from "bārha" (twelve) and "esar" (names), referring to the twelve Ganadharas. This sajjay (prayer/recitation) is often recited for remembrance and veneration of these enlightened disciples.
Here is the detailed list of the 12 Ganadharas as per the Śvetāmbara tradition and as mentioned in the Bārhesar Sajjay:
- Indrabhūti Gautama (Gautam Swami)
- Agni Bhūti
- Vāyu Bhūti
- Vyakta
- Sudharma Swami
- Mandit
- Mauryaputra
- Akampita
- Acalabhraata
- Metarya
- Prabhasa
- Abhaya Kumara
The Bārhesar Sajjay itself is a short, poetic composition in Prakrit, and it usually begins by invoking the names in a rhythmic sequence. Here is a typical stanza (in Prakrit/Sanskritized form) for reference:
``` गोयमगणधर, अग्गिभूदि, वायुभूदि, व्यक्ख, सुधम्म, मंडि, मोरियपुत्त, अकंपिय, अचल्लभाइ, मेटरिय, पभास, अभयकुमार। ```
Transliteration: ``` Goyama Ganadhara, Aggibhuti, Vayubhuti, Vyakta, Sudhamma, Mandi, Moriaputta, Akampiya, Achallabhai, Metariya, Pabhāsa, Abhayakumāra. ```
Meaning: These are the twelve principal disciples (Ganadharas) who expounded Lord Mahavira's teachings.
