Answer

The complete Chattāri Maṅgalam Sutra is:

चत्तारि मंगलं
अरिहंता मंगलं
सिद्धा मंगलं
साहू मंगलं
केवली पन्नत्तो धम्मो मंगलं

चत्तारि लोगुत्तमा
अरिहंता लोगुत्तमा
सिद्धा लोगुत्तमा
साहू लोगुत्तमा
केवली पन्नत्तो धम्मो लोगुत्तमो

चत्तारि सरणं पव्वज्जामि
अरिहंते सरणं पव्वज्जामि
सिद्धे सरणं पव्वज्जामि
साहू सरणं पव्वज्जामि
केवली पन्नत्तं धम्मं सरणं पव्वज्जामि

Meaning

• Arihants are auspicious.
• Siddhas are auspicious.
• Sadhus are auspicious.
• The Dharma taught by the Kevalis is auspicious.

These four are supreme in the universe, and the devotee takes refuge in them.

Spiritual Understanding

This sutra reminds us to take shelter in the highest spiritual ideals of Jain Dharma:

• Arihant — the enlightened living Tirthankars / Jinas
• Siddha — liberated souls
• Sādhu — true ascetics walking the path of liberation
• Kevali-pannatta Dharma — the Dharma taught by omniscient beings

Takeaway

Chattāri Maṅgalam teaches that true refuge is not in worldly things, but in Arihant, Siddha, Sādhu, and the pure Dharma revealed by the Kevalis.
