Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections

Narādhīśa (नराधीश) refers to the “lords of men”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “The doctrine bestows upon embodied souls prosperity which is desired by Indra and the lords of men and snakes (narādhīśa—naroragādhīśanākanāyakavāñchitām), and is to be revered in the three worlds. The doctrine protects all [beings] that are mobile and immobile with regard to the occurrence of misfortune. It also comforts [them] completely with a stream of the liquid ambrosia of happiness”.

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.
