    Aavyo sherne tumari

    12 months ago 87

    “Āvyo śaraṇe tamārī” (Gujarati: આવ્યો શરણે તમારી) means “I have come into Your refuge.”

    • In Jain bhakti, this line is a humble prayer to the Jin (Arihant Tirthankars) and to the Jain śāsan, expressing surrender, asking for guidance to walk on samyak darshan–jnān–chāritra, and for strength to reduce kāshay (anger, pride, deceit, greed).
    • It is a devotional phrase (stavan/bhāvnā line), not a canonical sūtra. Both Śvetāmbara and Digambara traditions use such refuge-seeking language in prayers; there is no doctrinal difference in its basic meaning.
