Answer

No, it is not strictly necessary to do the jaap of the specific Riddhi and Mantra connected with a particular shlok of Bhaktamar Stotra.

The main and most important practice is to recite the Bhaktamar Stotra with faith, purity of mind, devotion, and right understanding.

Explanation

In Jain tradition, Bhaktamar Stotra is a deeply revered stotra composed in praise of the first Tirthankar, Bhagwan Adinath.

Many traditions associate each shlok with:

• a specific Riddhi,
• a specific mantra,
• and certain spiritual or worldly benefits.

However, these associated mantras and riddhis are part of later devotional and ritual traditions. They are not compulsory for every devotee.

A person may simply recite:

• the full Bhaktamar Stotra, or
• selected shloks with devotion, or
• only listen to it respectfully,

and still receive great spiritual benefit through pure bhakti, concentration, humility, and reverence toward the Tirthankar.

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, the true power of any stotra is not in mechanical repetition alone, but in:

• shraddha — faith,
• bhav — inner feeling,
• vinay — humility,
• shuddhata — purity,
• and remembering the virtues of the Tirthankar.

If someone has received proper guidance from a learned Jain guru or knowledgeable tradition, they may do the specific mantra-jaap connected with a shlok. But without guidance, it is better to keep the practice simple, pure, and devotional.

Takeaway

Specific Riddhi and mantra-jaap are optional devotional practices, not mandatory. Reciting Bhaktamar Stotra with sincere faith, purity, and devotion is spiritually meaningful in itself.
