    Jai Viyaraya Sutra

    12 months ago 141

    “Jai Viyaraya” (Prakrit: Jai Viyarāya / Sanskritized: Jai Vīrāya) simply means “Victory/Glory to the Vīra,” i.e., to Bhagwan Mahāvīra.

    Key points:

    • It is a devotional salutation and stavan refrain used by Jains to praise Bhagwan Mahāvīra.
    • It is not the name of a canonical Āgamic sutra in either tradition.
    • Different communities sing various “Jai Viyaraya” stavans with changing verses and melodies; wording can vary by region and tradition.

    Traditions:

    • Śvetāmbara and Digambara both accept the meaning as a respectful praise to Mahāvīra. There is no officially fixed “Jai Viyaraya Sutra” text in either canon.

    Meaning (arth) of the phrase:

    • “Jai” = victory, glory, salutations.
    • “Viyarāya/Vīrāya” = to the Vīra (Mahāvīra).
    • Sense: “May there be victory and glory to Lord Mahāvīra, the conqueror of inner passions.”

    If you are looking for the exact lyrics of a specific “Jai Viyaraya” stavan used in your sangh or region, please indicate the version or tradition name so the precise text and its meaning can be provided.
