Rishab ji lo lava cha jain stavan
It seems you are referring to the popular Gujarati Jain stavan for Bhagwan Rishabhdev (Adinath) often sung as “Rishabhdev lo lavo chhe” (sometimes spelled “Rishabh ji lo lavo chhe”). This is a bhakti stavan (devotional song), not a canonical sutra, and its words vary by region and sampraday. Because multiple versions exist, the exact lines should be taken from the tradition you follow to keep accuracy and maryada intact. If you share your exact regional version or first line, I can provide the precise text and a simple arth accordingly.
Simple arth (meaning) in line with Jain tradition:
- We lovingly praise and invoke Bhagwan Rishabhdev, the first Tirthankar (Adinath).
- We remember his supreme tapas (Varsitap), his first ahar as Ikshu-rasa (sugarcane juice) from Shreyans-kumar, and his establishment of the fourfold sangh.
- We bow to his qualities of ahimsa, satya, and complete vairagya, praying for samyak darshan, samyak jnan, and samyak charitra to arise within us.
For authentic background on Bhagwan Rishabhdev and related topics:
- Adinath Bhagwan’s life and significance
- Ikshu-rasa (Parna) context in devotion to Rushabhdev
- Rishabhdev Diksha Tirth (Prayag/Tapastali)
Note:
- Since this is a stavan (not a sutra), there is no Digambar–Shwetambar difference in “meaning” mandated by scripture; variations are mainly in tune and wording by local tradition.
- I have preserved only the traditional Jain understanding, without adding outside interpretations.
