The Bhaktamara Stotra is one of the most cherished hymns in the Jain tradition, a cascade of 52 verses composed by the venerable poet-saint Manatunga. This modern edition presents his sublime praise of Rishabhnath—the first Jina, or conqueror of inner passions—in clear, flowing English that preserves the original's reverence, rhythm, and spiritual depth. Each verse is a gem of devotion, extolling the Tirthankara's boundless wisdom, flawless compassion, and protegevity. Whether you approach this text from the path of faith, the history of sacred poetry, or the quiet call of meditative prayer, you will find in these lines a gentle, authoritative companion. This edition includes a brief glossary, selected key passages, and guidance on reading the hymn with insight. Part of The World Scriptures Library.
