Darśanam Deva-devasya Śrī Jinendrasya darśanam.
Original (Devanagari): दर्शनं देवदेवस्य श्रीजिनेन्द्रस्य दर्शनम् ॥
Arth (meaning): “Beholding the Lord of lords, Shri Jinendra—such darshan itself is supremely auspicious.” It praises the very act of seeing the Tirthankara (Jina) as a sacred blessing that elevates the mind and nurtures samyag-darshan (right faith).
Simple word-by-word sense:
- दर्शनं (darśanam): the sight/vision
- देवदेवस्य (deva-devasya): of the Lord of lords
- श्रीजिनेन्द्रस्य (śrī-jinendrasya): of the revered Jina (Tirthankara)
- दर्शनम् (darśanam): vision (repeated for emphasis)
Notes:
- This line is a devotional mangalacharan-style praise commonly recited in Jain stavan/stotra traditions to honor the Tirthankara.
- The spiritual intent is the same in both Digambar and Shvetambar traditions: darshan of the Jina is purifying and conducive to right faith.
