📜 Lyrics – Sone Ki Chadi (Parshvanath Bhagwan)
Shree Parshwanath Bhagwan
Sone ki chhadi
Roope ki mashaal
Jariyan ka jaama
Motiyan ki maala
Aaju se baaju se nigaah rakho
Jeev daya pratipaalak
Tran lok na naath
Devadhidev
Kashi Naresh
Shree Vama Devi nandan
Shree Ashwasen kul deepak
Raaj Rajeshwar
Daya na saagar
Karuna na bhandaar
Pragat prabhaavi
Kali kaal kalpataru
Bhav bhav na upkaari
Mahamangalkaari
Gyaan na daata
Dharanendra Padmavati paripujitaay
1008 naam dhaarak
108 teerth na pati
Shankheshwar na Maharaja
23 ma teerthankar
Shree Parshwanath Bhagwan ne
Ghani Khamma!
Ghani Khamma!
Ghani Khamma!
श्री पार्श्वनाथ भगवान
सोने की छड़ी
रूपे की मशाल
जरीयन का जामा
मोतीयन की माला
आजु से बाजु से निगाह रखो
जीव दया प्रतिपालक
त्रण लोक ना नाथ
देवाधिदेव
काशी नरेश
श्री वामा देवी नंदन
श्री अश्वसेन कुल दीपक
राज राजेश्वर
दया ना सागर
करुणा ना भंडार
प्रगट प्रभावी
कली काल कल्पतरु
भव भव ना उपकारी
महामंगलकारी
ज्ञान ना दाता
धरणेन्द्र पद्मावती परिपूजिताय
१००८ नाम धारक
१०८ तीर्थ ना पति
शंखेश्वर ना महाराजा
23 मा तीर्थंकर
श्री पार्श्वनाथ भगवान ने
घणी खम्मा!
घणी खम्मा!
घणी खम्मा!
શ્રી પાર્શ્વનાથ ભગવાન
સોને કી છડી
રૂપે કી મશાલ
જરીયન કા જામા
મોતીયન કી માલા
આજુ સે બાજુ સે નિગાહ રખો
જીવ દયા પ્રતિપાલક
ત્રણ લોક ના નાથ
દેવાધિદેવ
કાશી નરેશ
શ્રી વામા દેવી નંદન
શ્રી અશ્વસેન કુળ દીપક
રાજ રાજેશ્વર
દયા ના સાગર
કરુણા ના ભંડાર
પ્રગટ પ્રભાવી
કલી કાલ કલ્પતરુ
ભવ ભવ ના ઉપકારી
મહામંગલકારી
જ્ઞાન ના દાતા
ધરણેન્દ્ર પદ્માવતી પરિપૂજિતાય
૧૦૦૮ નામ ધારક
૧૦૮ તીર્થ ના પતિ
શંખેશ્વર ના મહારાજા
23 મા તીર્થંકર
શ્રી પાર્શ્વનાથ ભગવાન ને
ઘણી ખમ્મા!
ઘણી ખમ્મા!
ઘણી ખમ્મા!
