Samvatsari Pratikramana
Oh! Shree Pārshva Nāth Bhagawān, I am bowing down to you. Even your caretaker Yaksha Pārshva is capable of nullifying the unfavorable situations caused by other people and/or other elements. You have eradicated all Karmas and thus you are free from all of them. You are capable of nullifying the poison of the most poisonous snake. You are the abode of bliss and unending happiness. Those people, who recite the Mantra known as 'Visahara Fullinga Mantra' with faith, their misfortunes, chronic illness, plague and other fatal epidemic diseases are cured. Let alone recitation of this Mantra, even sincere obeisance to you is a cause of good fortune. Those, who offer sincere obeisance to you with a deep faith, will have a life free of sufferings and bad luck, in all of their future human or animal lives. Attainment of the right knowledge and right faith, as preached by you, is even more precious than 'Chintāmani ratna' and 'Kalpa Vruksha'. Upon their attainment, one attains Moksha without difficulty, where there is no old age or death. Oh! Universally revered Pārshva Nāth Bhagawān, I eulogize you with a heart full of devotion. Oh! Jineshvar Pārshva Nāth Bhagawān, I wish for the right knowledge, right faith and, right conduct in all my future lives.
'Uvasagga-haram Sutra' is a devotional Sutra dedicated to Pārshva Näth Bhagawan, Recitation of this Sutra brings forth desired beneficial results as it pleases Pārshva Yaksha due to his deep devotion to Pärshva Nath Bhagawan, This Sutra was composed by Acharya Bhadrabāhu Swami (504 B.C. to 428 B.C.) He was the last Shrut Kevali of this current time cycle. This sutra was composed by Shri Aryabhadra Bahu Swami 2,200 years ago. As there was some danger to the congregation from the Vyantardev, it was composed to protect the people. It is a prayer to protect those people from harm, who are on their spiritual quest. Seven verses were originally composed. Later the power of this sutra was sometimes misused, therefore on the insistence of Adhishtayak dev, the last two verses were withdrawn. Therefore now only five verses are recited.
