Answer

Yes, a Digambar Jain person may respectfully say the Upasaggaharam Stotra/Mantra if they have devotion toward it and recite it with right faith, humility, and purity of intention.

However, it is more commonly associated with the Śvetāmbara Jain tradition, especially in devotion to Bhagwan Parshvanath and Dharanendra-Padmavati.

Explanation

The Upasaggaharam Stotra is a revered Jain prayer traditionally attributed to Āchārya Bhadrabahu. It is recited for removal of obstacles, protection from difficulties, and devotion to Bhagwan Parshvanath.

In Jain Dharma, respectful recitation of a stotra that praises a Tirthankar is not wrong simply because it is more common in one tradition. Since the prayer is centered on reverence for Bhagwan Parshvanath, a Digambar Jain can recite it respectfully.

That said:

• Some Digambar families or gurus may not include it in their regular tradition.
• If you follow a specific Digambar guru, mandir, or family practice, it is best to ask your guru or elders.
• One should avoid treating any mantra as magic; the Jain focus is always on faith, purity, karma-shedding, and right conduct.

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, the true power of any prayer lies in:

• Devotion to Arihant Bhagwan
• Purity of mind
• Reduction of fear, anger, ego, and attachment
• Strengthening samyak darshan, samyak jnan, and samyak charitra

So, if a Digambar Jain recites Upasaggaharam with reverence toward Bhagwan Parshvanath and without superstition, it can be spiritually meaningful.

Takeaway

Yes, Digambar Jains can recite Upasaggaharam respectfully, but they may also follow their own Digambar tradition’s accepted stotras and mantras according to their guru’s guidance.
