Namaskar Mantra
Namo arihantaanamNamo siddhaanam
Namo aayariyaanam
Namo uvajjhayaanam
Namo loe savva saahunam
I bow to the Arihantas — the ever-perfect spiritual victors.
I bow to the Siddhas — the liberated souls.
I bow to the Acharyas — the leaders of the Jaina order.
I bow to the Upadhyasa — the learned preceptors.
I bow to all the saints and sages everywhere in the world.
These five obeisances erase all sins. Amongst all that is auspicious, this is foremost.
