Savva Pavappanaasano
Mangalaanancha Savvesim

Meaning:

I bow to the Arihantaas ( Perfect Souls, God Men )
I bow to the Siddhaas ( Liberated bodiless Souls, God
I bow to the Acharyaas ( Heads of Congregations )
I bow to the Uvajjaayaas ( Spiritual Teachers )
I bow to the Saadhus ( All ascetic aspirants or spiritual practitioners )


This five-fold obeisance (salutation) mantra
Destroys all demerit, Negativities and Karmas
And of all auspicious recitations
This mantra is the first and foremost.
