    Padmavati mantra " maat Padmavati dekhi tujne heyuu....

    8 months ago 271

    It looks like you’re recalling a popular stavan (devotional song) to Padmāvatī Yakṣiṇī of Bhagwān Pārśvanāth. That line is from folk/temple stavan traditions, not from the canonical Jain Āgamas, and the exact wording varies by region. For authenticity, here are accepted Padmāvatī mantras used in Jain practice, with simple meanings.

    Who is Padmāvatī

    • She is the Yakṣiṇī (Śāsanadevī) of Bhagwān Pārśvanāth. In Jain Dharma, devotion to her is always subordinate to Arihant–Siddha worship and is meant to support inner purity, not worldly craving.

    Common mantras (tradition notes)

    • Śvetāmbara usage:
    1) Om Hrim Shrim Klim Aim Sauh Padmavatyai Namah 2) Simpler form: Om Padmavatyai Namah

    • Digambara usage:
    1) Om Hrim Shrim Klim Aim Sauh Padmavatyai Namah 2) Simpler form: Om Padmavatiye Namah

    Meaning (arth) in brief

    • Om: salutation in the spirit of Namokār Mantra.
    • Hrim: purity/compassion that dissolves inner defilements.
    • Shrim: auspicious virtues and spiritual prosperity.
    • Klim: attraction toward dharma and restraint.
    • Aim: right knowledge and insight.
    • Sauh (or Sauṃ): protection of saṃyama (self-restraint) and fearlessness rooted in dharma.
    • Padmavatyai/Padmavatiye Namah: I bow to Padmāvatī, the Śāsanadevī of Pārśvanāth, seeking removal of inner obstacles (kashāyas) and steadiness in right faith, knowledge, and conduct.

    How to recite (simple, traditional Jain way)

    • Begin with the Navkār Mantra.
    • Keep bhāva of ahiṃsā, aparigraha, and humility; do not use the mantra for material desires.
    • Recite slowly and mindfully (e.g., 9, 27, or 108 times), ideally before an image of Bhagwān Pārśvanāth (Padmāvatī depicted nearby).
    • Maintain Jain niyam: no hiṃsā-based offerings, observe purity (sauc), and align with daily pratikraman where applicable.
    • For advanced/“bīja” or kavacha forms, receive upadeśa from a knowledgeable Jain ācārya/sādhvī/pandit.

    About the line you quoted

    • “Māṭā Padmāvatī dekhi tujane…” belongs to a stavan tradition and is not a fixed scriptural mantra; versions differ by region/language (Gujarati/Hindi/Marwari). For the exact stavan text and tune used in your sangh or temple, please follow your local Jain granth/stavan collection or guru’s guidance.
