Answer

Yes, the omitted Gāthās of Uvasaggaharam Stotra may be chanted only if they are received from a reliable and traditional source and recited correctly with proper reverence.

However, in regular daily practice, many Jain traditions commonly chant the shorter and widely accepted version of Uvasaggaharam Stotra. One should follow the version taught by one’s guru, sangh, or family tradition.

Explanation

Uvasaggaharam Stotra is a highly revered Jain stotra associated with devotion to Bhagwan Parshwanath. In practice, different traditions may preserve or recite different numbers of Gāthās.

If some Gāthās are “omitted” in the commonly recited version, it does not mean they are disrespectful or forbidden. But sacred texts should not be altered casually. Therefore:

• If the additional Gāthās are part of an accepted traditional recension, they may be chanted.
• If their authenticity or pronunciation is uncertain, it is better not to chant them independently.
• For daily sādhana, follow the version given by your guru or Jain tradition.

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, the purity of chanting depends on:

• Right faith
• Correct words
• Proper pronunciation
• Devotional feeling
• Guidance from tradition

So, chanting more Gāthās is not automatically better. Chanting with correctness, humility, and bhāv is more important.

Takeaway

You may chant the omitted Gāthās of Uvasaggaharam if they come from a trusted Jain traditional source and you have learned them properly. If unsure, chant the commonly accepted version and consult a learned Jain guru or scholar.
