17. JTHIT-Kİ FET - UVASAGGA-HARAM STOTRA
Recitation of Mantra for worldly gains and benefits is prohibited. However, if a Mantra is recited with devotion and faith to alleviate sufferings of other people, to eradicate natural calamities, or for the protection of Jain temples, Jain religion and Sangh, it will definitely eliminate these misfortunes.
It is however important to remember that Mantra is expression of devotion to heavenly beings and Yaksha and Yakshini only. They are not liberated and thus are able to bring forth the beneficial results of Mantra. Uvasagga-haram Sutra is a devotional Sutra dedicated to Shree Pärshva Näth Bhagawan. Recitation of this Sutra brings forth the desired beneficial results (as stated before) as it pleases Pärshva Yaksha due to his deep devotion to Pärshva Näth Bhagawän.
