Jain shwetambar dhoop & diva Doha..
Certainly! In Jain Shwetambar tradition, "Doha" refers to devotional couplets or verses recited during rituals, such as lighting dhoop (incense) and diva (lamp). These Dohas are meant to express reverence, seek blessings, and cultivate spiritual purity while performing these offerings.
Here are traditional Dohas commonly recited during dhoop and diva offerings in Shwetambar Jain households:
---
1. Dhoop Doha (for offering incense):
``` Arihant Satya Dham, Jinendra Bhav Khanda. Dhoop Sugandhit Diyo, Vighna Vinashak Anda.॥ ``` Meaning: "O Lord Arihant, abode of truth, destroyer of worldly existence, I offer this fragrant incense; may it remove all obstacles."
---
2. Diva Doha (for offering lamp):
``` Arihant Prabhu Jyot, Param Deep Nirantar. Deepak Diyo Prabhu, Andhkar Haranhar.॥ ``` Meaning: "O Lord Arihant, eternal light and supreme lamp, I offer this lamp; may it remove all darkness (ignorance)."

Note: These Dohas may have slight variations depending on region or family tradition, but the essence remains the same—offering with devotion and humility.
You may recite these dohas during your daily puja while offering dhoop and diva, focusing your mind on purity, spiritual illumination, and the teachings of the Tirthankaras.
