Bhaktamara Stotra is one of the famous Jain sanskrit prayers. It is said to be composed by Manatunga. The name Bhaktamara comes from a combination of two sanskrit names, "Bhakta" (Devotee) and "Amar" (Immortal). The prayer praises Rishabha (Adinath), the first Tirthankara of Jainism. There is some variation in the number of verses of the available manuscripts; some have 48 verses, while others have 44 verses. A few have 52 verses. The last verse gives the name of the author Manatunga. ==Verses== Bhaktamar verses have been recited as a stotra (prayer), and sung as a stavan (hymn), somewhat interchangeably. Other Jain prayers have taken after these (such as the Kalyānamandira stotra, devoted to the twenty-third tirthankara, and the Svayambhu stotra, to all twenty-four); additional verses here praise the omniscience of Adinatha,〔The A to Z of Jainism, ISBN 0810868210〕〔Svayambhu Stotra: Adoration of the Twenty-four Tirthankara, ISBN 8190363972〕 while devotionals are considered a source for lay understandings of Jain doctrine.〔Singing to the Jinas, ISBN 0195140117〕 See also, Jainpedia manuscript pages for Bhaktāmara-stotra ((1762 ) & (Later )), a Sanskrit recording (with romanized text) of (by Gundecha Brothers), and translations of "Bhaktamar Stotra" (Sloka 01-44 ) (Śvētāmbara), or 48 verses described (Digambara): * * * * * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bhaktamara Stotra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
