Divine Blessings: ?c?rya Vi?uddhas?gara Muni Language Note: Sanskrit, Hindi and English Bhakt?mara Stotra is the magnum opus composition of ?c?rya M?natunga (circa 7th century CE). Bhakt?mara Stotra eulogizes the supreme attributes of Lord ?din?tha, the first T?rtha?kara. This is perhaps the most well-known adoration of Lord Jina that is not only recited but memorized, with great devotion and reverence, by a large number of people among the Jaina community, Digambara and ?vet?mbara. The worthy soul is believed to accumulate enormous propitiousness by reading Bhakt?mara Stotra with devotion. Hundreds of thousands of instances, ancient and recent, must have come to light where people claimed to have benefitted miraculously by the recitation of and reflection on this sacred composition. This slim volume is a useful reference text for international readers. It will be of interest not only to Hindi-loving scholars but also to those looking for an authentic English rendering of Bhakt?mara Stotra. Besides the transliteration in English of the original Sanskrit verse, the meaning of each verse has been given both in Hindi and English languages. The Preface of the book contains, besides other useful information, a synopsis of the concept of empirical (vyavah?ra) time (k?la), and a brief life-story of Lord ?din?tha, the first T?rtha?kara, as expounded in the Scripture.
