18. jayavIyarAya! sUtra-Jaya Viyaraya Sutra 18. Introduction Jaya Viyaraya Sutra is also known as Pranidhana Sutra which denotes a state of ecstasy. It relates to an act in which the physical, mental and spiritual faculties together are sincerely praying to Lord Tirthankar for the benefit of our higher spiritual state. By this sutra, the flawless and superior prayers have been done with the lord for spiritual benefits. 18. jayavIyarAya! sUtraH jaya vIyarAya! jaga-guru!, hou mamaM tuha ppabhAvao bhayavaM!. bhava-nivveo maggANusAriA iTThaphala-siddhI........................1. loga-viruddha-ccAo guru-jaNa-pUA parattha-karaNaM ca. suha-guru-jogo tavvayaNa-sevaNA A-bhavamakhaMDA......................... vArijjai jai vi niyANa-baMdhaNaM vIyarAya! tuha samaye. taha vi mama hujja sevA, bhave bhave tumha calaNANaM. ............ dukkha-kkhao kamma-kkhao, samAhi-maraNaM ca bohi-lAbho a. saMpajjau maha eaM, tuha nAha! paNAma-karaNeNaM... sarva-maMgala-mAMgalyaM, sarva-kalyANa-kAraNam. mokSArtham sarva jIvAnAm, jainaM jayati zAsanam'.. 18. Jaya Viyaraya! Sutra: Jaya viyaraya! Jaga-guru!, Hou mamam tuha ppabhavao bhayavam! Bhava-nivveo magganusaria itthaphala-siddhi... 'We needed to modify one sentence "Pradhanam Sarva Dharmanam" of "Sarva Mangal Mangalayam" sutra. The popular meaning of the sutra is "Jainism is the best religion among all other religions". This meaning is not conducive to the basic Jain Principle of Anekantvad. This Sanskrit language Sutra was added at the end of the "Jayaviyrai Sutra" which is in Prakrit language sometimes after 12th century (1700 years after Lord Mahavir Nirvana). Hence it is not a part of the original sutra. We would like to apologize if you feel that this action is not an appropriate one. However the main purpose of this book is to teach the Pratikraman sutras to American Jain children and youth and we need to teach them based American cultural environment and also not violating our basic principles. In USA 70% Jain children are marrying with non-Jain spouses.
