In general, the Logassa (also spelled Logassa or Lokassa) is a well-known Jain prayer (stotra) that praises the five supreme beings (Pancha Parameshthi) — the Arihantas, Siddhas, Acharyas, Upadhyayas, and Sadhus. A common version of the original Prakrit text and its English translation is:
Original (Prakrit): Logassa ujjoyagare, dhamma-titthayare, jine, arihamte, siddhe, ayariye, uvajjhae, savve-sahū, savva-pāṇi-bhūya-jīva-sattāṇam, bhaddaṁ pavvayaṁ, karemi.
English translation: "I bow to the illuminators of the world, the establishers of the religion, the Jinas, the Arhats, the Siddhas, the Acharyas, the Upadhyayas, and all the Sadhus. May there be auspiciousness for all living beings, creatures, souls, and sentient beings."
This prayer is recited daily by Jains to express reverence and to wish well-being for all forms of life.

Here are the Pachchakkhān (vow) texts for Beāsana and Ayambil: **Beāsana (two meals) Pachchakkhān** — This is part of the Egāsana/Beāsana austerity text, which constitutes the second external austerity known as Unodari (eating less than required). The text has three parts: 1. **First part:** "Uggae Soore Namukkārsahiam, Porisim/Sāddhaporisim, Mutthisahiam, Pachchakkhāi (Pachchakkhāmi); Uggae Sure Chauvvihampi Ahāram:- Asanam, Pānam, Khaimam, Sāimam; Annathanābhogenam, Sahasāgārenam, Pachchhannakālenam, Disāmohenam, Sāhuvayanenam, Mahattarāgārenam, Savvasamāhivattiyagārenam." This means vowing to avoid the four types of food (eatables, drinks, light refreshments, mouth/breath refreshers) from sunrise, keeping the hand folded until terminated by reciting Navkārmantra one/one-and-a-half Prahar after sunrise, with the usual exceptions (forgetfulness, sudden occurrence, difficulty in judging time, delusion about directions, words of saints, command of Sangha/Acharya, or overall peace and equanimity). 2. **Second part (Vigaio):** "Vigaio Pachchakkhāi (Pachchakkhāmi); Annathanābhogenam, Sahasāgārenam, Levālevenam, Gihatthasansathenam, Ukkhitavivegenam, Paduchchamakkhienam, Pāritthāvaniāgārenam, Mahattarāgārenam, Savvasamāhivattivāgārenam." This part is optional and for those who want to avoid stimulant foods (Vigay/Vikruti) like milk, yogurt, ghee, oil, sugar, jaggery, and fried foods. 3. **Third part (Beāsana):** "Egāsanam/Beāsanam Pachchakkhāi (Pachchakkhāmi), Tivihampi Āhāram:- Asanam, Khaimam, Sāimam; Annatthanābhogenam, Sahasāgārenam, Sāgāriāgārenam, Outanpasārenam, Guru-Abbhutthānenam, Pāritthāvaniāgārenam, Mahattarāgārenam, Savvasamāhivattiyagārenam; Pānasssa Leven Vā Aleven Vā Achchhen Vā Bahuleven Vā Sasitthen Vā Asitthen Vā Vosirai (Vosirāmi)." This part vows to avoid three types of food (eatables, refreshments, mouth/breath refreshers) for the Beāsana (two-meal) austerity, with the exceptions listed, and concludes with the water-renunciation formula (Vosirai) [2]. **Ayambil Pachchakkhān** — The Ayambil text replaces the phrase "Vigaio Pachchakkhāi" with "Ayambilam Nivvigaium Pachchakkhāi," where Nivvigaium means food free from all Vigays (stimulants). The meal permitted in Ayambil can be taken any time three/four-and-a-half hours after sunrise and must be finished before sunset. Water can be taken anytime during the day, but since the vow forbids water after sunset, it is advisable to finish the meal by afternoon to leave scope for after-meal water [1]. Ayambil involves having only one meal a day of very plain food without spices, milk, sugar, salt, oil, butter, fruits, or vegetables (with minor exceptions sometimes made by gurus for certain spices) [5].
Here is a monologue of Lakshmana's story, based on the provided sources: "I am Lakshmana, the devoted younger brother of Rama. My story is one of unwavering service and divine purpose. I followed my brother and Sita into the forest, ever vigilant, ever ready to protect them. On our journey, I encountered many trials. Once, while fetching water, I met a young prince who, in truth, was Princess Kalyāṇamālā in disguise, ruling her kingdom to free her captive father. I helped reunite her with her father, freeing him from the mleccha king [4]. Another time, a cruel Brahmin named Kapila drove us from his home during a storm, yet Rama, in his boundless compassion, later forgave him and showered him with wealth [4]. My most personal trial came when we rested near Vaijayantapura. The princess Vanamālā, who had long desired me, was to be married to another. In her despair, she went to the forest to hang herself. I found her and, seizing the noose from her hands, saved her life [1]. I consoled her, and we were married that very night, returning to Rama and Sita at midnight [1][3]. Sita, seeing us together, playfully remarked that I had befriended the moon, for we arrived with the moonlight [3]. In time, I conquered the entire earth, bringing all the Vidyadharas and their cities under my rule, and I obtained the seven great treasures: the chakra, umbrella, bow, spear, mace, jewel, and sword [2]. I had eight chief queens, including Vanamālā and Kalyāṇamālā, and my lineage continued through my sons, ensuring my legacy endured [2]."
In the Swetambar Jain tradition, the **Nine Ang Puja** is performed on nine body parts (Angs) of the Tirthankar idol. For each of the nine places, you recite one line of the **Namaskar Mantra** (Navkar Mantra) as follows: 1. **Right Toe, then Left Toe** – *Namo Arihantanam* 2. **Right Knee, then Left Knee** – *Namo Siddhanam* 3. **Center of Arm, then Left Arm** – *Namo Aayariyanam* 4. **Right Shoulder, then Left Shoulder** – *Namo Uvajjayanam* 5. **Top of Head (center)** – *Namo Loa Savva Sahunam* 6. **Center of Forehead** – *Eso Panch Namukkaro* 7. **Center of Throat** – *Savva Pava Panasano* 8. **Center of Chest** – *Mangala Nam Cha Savve Sim* 9. **Navel** – *Padhamum Hawai Mangalam* Important notes: The right and left sides refer to the **Murti (idol)**, not the person doing the puja. Also, the Right Toe is on the opposite side than the Right Knee, Arm, and Shoulder of the Murti. During the puja, you should cover your mouth and nose with a piece of white cloth [1].
The Visahara Phulinga (also spelled Visahar Fullinga) mantra is a protective Jain hymn associated with Lord Parshvanatha. The core mantra is: **"Namiuna Pāsa Visahara Vasaha Jina Fulinga"** [1][5]. This is an 18-letter mantra considered effective against all types of pain and affliction, and it is implicit in stanza 18 of the Namiun Sutra [5]. There is also a longer version composed by Acharya Shri Mantung Suri that adds symbolic syllables: **"Om Rhim Shreem Arham Namiuna Pāsa Visahara Vasaha Jina Fuling Rhim Namaha"** [1][5]. In this version, "Om" symbolizes the five supreme entities, "Hrim" the three worlds, "Shrim" spiritual wealth, and "Arham" the worshipful one [5]. The mantra is said to pacify evil planetary effects, disease, epidemics, and acute fever when recited or held in the throat (remembered) [1][2][5].
Based on the provided context, the "Visahara Phulinga" mantra is a hymn dedicated to Lord Pārsva Nātha, who is attended by the deity Pārsva Yaksha. The mantra is believed to eliminate disturbances in the universe and destroy the poison of snakes and cobras. Lord Pārsva Nātha is described as an abode of auspiciousness and prosperity. The context states that a person who always remembers this hymn will be rid of misfortunes, fatal diseases, epidemics, and deadly fevers. Even a simple obeisance offered to Lord Pārsva Nātha is said to result in many good things, and because of these prayers, human beings and animals will not suffer from sickness and poverty. Furthermore, upon attaining right faith as preached by him, which is considered more valuable than the most precious heavenly jewels, living beings can easily attain the place of immortality. The hymn concludes with a prayer to the greatly renowned Lord Parśvanātha to bestow the seeds of attaining perfect knowledge in all future births.
Yes, the 63 Shalaka Purushas (outstanding personalities) are not unique to a single time cycle — they appear in **every** Kala-chakra (wheel of time). Each full cycle consists of one Avasarpini (regressive half) and one Utsarpini (progressive half), and the same pattern of 63 great souls is born in each cycle [1]. The 63 are divided into: - **24 Tirthankaras** (spiritual teachers) - **12 Chakravartins** (universal emperors) - **27 Viras/Heroes**, comprising 9 Baldevas, 9 Vasudevas, and 9 Prati-Vasudevas [1] The distribution across the six Aras (epochs) is specific: at least one Tirthankara and one Chakravartin appear in the Sukhama-Dukhama Ara, while the remaining Tirthankaras and Chakravartins are born in the Dukhama-Sukhama Ara. The same sequence repeats in both the regressive and progressive halves of every time cycle [1]. So while the *individuals* differ from cycle to cycle, the *set of 63* recurs in every Kala-chakra.
