Ādināthastotra (आदिनाथस्तोत्र) is another name for the Bhaktāmarastotra by Mānatuṅga (dealing with classical hymns and stotras from Jain literature), which is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—This extremely popular hymn known and recited even today is dedicated to the first Tīrthaṃkara and also bears the titles Ādināthastotra, Ādināthastava. The Śvetāmbara recension has a total of 44 verses. Manuscripts of the Bhaktāmarastotra often have a specific esthetic value, as if to underline that the importance of the work is not only in its text. It has an almost magical value too and is followed here by another very popular and Tantric like hymn, the Ghaṇṭākarṇa Mahāvīra-stotra (cat. no. 309).

General definition book cover
context information

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
