Here is the Navkar (Namokar) Mantra as traditionally recited in Jain Dharma, followed by a simple meaning.

Original (Prakrit – Devanagari):

• णमो अरिहंताणं
• णमो सिद्धाणं
• णमो आयरियाणं
• णमो उवज्झायाणं
• णमो लोए सव्वसाहूणं
• एसो पंच नमोकारो
• सव्व पावप्पणासणो
• मंगळाणं च सव्वेसिं
• पढमं हवै मंगळं

Transliteration:

• Namo Arihantāṇaṁ
• Namo Siddhāṇaṁ
• Namo Āyariyāṇaṁ
• Namo Uvajjhāyāṇaṁ
• Namo Loe Savva Sāhūṇaṁ
• Eso Pancha Namokkāro
• Savva Pāvappaṇāsaṇo
• Maṅgaḷāṇaṁ Ca Savvesiṁ
• Paḍhamaṁ Havai Maṅgalaṁ

Simple meaning (arth):

• I bow to the Arihants (enlightened beings who have conquered inner enemies).
• I bow to the Siddhas (liberated souls).
• I bow to the Āchāryas (spiritual leaders/heads of the order).
• I bow to the Upādhyāyas (spiritual teachers).
• I bow to all Sādhus and Sādhvīs (monks and nuns) in the world.
• These five venerations (bows) destroy all sins.
• Among all auspicious things, this is the foremost auspiciousness.

Notes on tradition:

• Both Digambar and Shwetambar traditions accept this mantra. Minor differences appear only in pronunciation (e.g., Uvajjhāyāṇaṁ/Uvajjhāyāṇaṁ; Sāhūṇaṁ/Savvasāhūṇaṁ). The meaning and reverence remain the same.
