Uvasaggaharam Stotra — Text & Meaning

उवसग्गहरं पासं, पासं वंदामि कम्मघण-मुक्कं । विसहर-विस-निन्नासं, मंगल कल्लाण आवासं ॥१॥ विसहर-फुल्लिंग-मंतं, कंठे धारेइ जो सया मणुओ । तस्स गह रोग मारी, दुट्ठ जरा जंति उवसामं ॥२॥ चिट्ठउ दूरे मंतो, तुज्झ पणामो वि बहुफलो होइ । नर तिरिएसु वि जीवा, पावंति न दुक्ख-दोगच्चं ॥३॥ तुह सम्मत्ते लद्धे, चिंतामणि कप्प-पायव-ब्भहिए । पावंति अविग्घेणं, जीवा अयरामरं ठाणं ॥४॥ इह संथुओ महायस, भत्तिब्भर-निब्भरेण हिअएण । ता देव! दिज्झ बोहिं, भवे-भवे पास जिणचंद ॥५॥

Five verses in praise of Parshvanath, the 23rd Tirthankara. Composed in Prakrit in the gaha metre and traditionally attributed to Acharya Bhadrabahu; one of the Nav Smaran. (1) I bow to Parshva, remover of afflictions, freed from the density of karma, destroyer of the serpent's venom, abode of auspiciousness and welfare. (2) One who always keeps this venom-quelling mantra at their throat finds planetary affliction, disease, epidemic and cruel old age subside. (3) Set the mantra aside — even a bow to you bears abundant fruit, and beings in human and animal births escape misery and want. (4) Having gained right faith in you — greater than the wish-granting gem and the celestial tree — beings reach the ageless, deathless state unhindered. (5) Thus praised, O illustrious one, with a heart brimming with devotion: grant me enlightenment birth after birth, O Parshva, moon among the Jinas.
