Origin & Story

Kalyana Mandira Stotra (Jain devotional literature) · Acharya Siddhasena Divakara (Kumudachandra) · c. 5th–7th century CE

The Kalyana Mandira Stotra was composed by Acharya Siddhasena Divakara in adoration of Parshvanatha. Tradition recounts that Siddhasena, to demonstrate the supremacy of the Jina, recited this hymn before a Shiva-linga; as the verses unfolded, the shrine is said to have opened to reveal an image of Parshvanatha, attesting to the stotra's power. Composed as a devotional counterpart to the Bhaktamara, it is cherished in both Shvetambara and Digambara traditions.

✦ As told in scripture

Tradition holds that Acharya Siddhasena Divakara recited the Kalyana Mandira Stotra before a Shiva-linga, and that by the power of his devotion the shrine split open to reveal a self-manifested image of Parshvanatha, proclaiming the glory of the Tirthankara.

Meaning:हे नाथ! मोह के क्षय से आपका अनुभव करते हुए भी मनुष्य निश्चय ही आपके गुणों को गिनने में समर्थ नहीं है। प्रलयकाल के जल से प्रकट होने पर भी समुद्र की रत्न-राशि को कौन गिन सकता है?

It is traditionally attributed to Acharya Siddhasena Divakara, a renowned Jain scholar-monk (also remembered by the name Kumudachandra), who composed it in praise of Parshvanatha.

It is dedicated to Parshvanatha (Parshva), the twenty-third of the twenty-four Tirthankaras of Jainism, who is often depicted sheltered by the hood of the serpent Dharanendra.

The hymn opens with the words 'Kalyana Mandira', meaning 'the temple (abode) of well-being and auspiciousness', describing the Lord's feet. By custom the stotra takes its name from its opening words.

Kamatha is the antagonist in the life-story of Parshvanatha — an adversary across many births whose pride and malice the Lord overcame through equanimity. The stotra calls the Tirthankara a 'comet' to Kamatha's arrogance.
