Answer

“Prabhu Patit Pavan” means:

“O Lord, You are the purifier and uplifter of the fallen.”

Explanation

• Prabhu means Lord, Bhagwan, or the revered spiritual master.
• Patit means one who has fallen spiritually due to karmas, passions, ignorance, or wrong conduct.
• Pavan means purifier, sacred, or one who helps purify.

So, the phrase expresses devotion toward the Lord who shows the path by which spiritually fallen souls can become pure.

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, Tirthankars do not remove our karmas by their will. Rather, they are called “Patit Pavan” because they reveal the path of purification through:

• Right Faith
• Right Knowledge
• Right Conduct
• Non-violence, self-control, and inner purification

By following their teachings, a soul can rise from bondage toward purity and liberation.

Takeaway

“Prabhu Patit Pavan” is a devotional way of saying: “O Lord, your teachings purify and uplift souls trapped in worldly suffering.”
