Here is a concise Jain text with its meaning. If you had a different sutra or stotra in mind, tell me the exact name and I’ll provide that one.
1) Navkar Mantra (Namokar Mantra)
- Original text (common form):
"Namo Arihantanam
Namo Siddhānām
Namo Ayariyānāṁ
Namo Jaināyāṁ
Namo Loe Savva-sāhūnāṁ"
- Meaning (arth) in Jain Dharma:
- I bow to the Arihants (perfected beings who have realized the path to liberation).
- I bow to the Siddhas (liberated souls who have attained omniscience).
- I bow to the Acharyas (spiritual leaders who guide the Jain community).
- I bow to the Upadhyayas (teachers who impart Jain scriptures).
- I bow to all Sādhu (monks and nuns) who have renounced worldly life and practice pure conduct.
- Digambar and Shwetambar traditions may differ slightly in pronunciation or added mantras, but the core worship remains the same: bowing to Arihants, Siddhas, Acharyas, Upadhyayas, and Sādhu.
If you want this for a different sutra/stotra (for example, a specific stotra like the Bhaktamara Stotra, or a different namokar formulation), I can provide the exact original text and its arth in both Digambar and Shwetambar interpretations.
