📜 Lyrics – Sone Ki Chadi (Mallinath Bhagwan)
Shree Mallinath Bhagwan
Sone ki chhadi
Roope ki mashaal
Jariyan ka jaama
Motiyan ki maala
Aaju se baaju se nigaah rakho
Jeevdaya pratipaalak
Tran lok na naath
Devadhidev
Mithila teerth mandan
Prabhavati na nandan
Raja Kumbharaj na sapoot
Raaj Rajeshwar
Daya na saagar
Karuna na bhandaar
19 ma teerthankar
Shree Mallinath dada ne
Ghani Khamma!
Ghani Khamma!
Ghani Khamma!
श्री मल्लिनाथ भगवान
सोने की छड़ी
रूपे की मशाल
जरीयन का जामा
मोतीयन की माला
आजु से बाजु से निगाह रखो
जीवदया प्रतिपालक
त्रण लोक ना नाथ
देवाधिदेव
मिथिला तीर्थ मंडन
प्रभावती ना नंदन
राजा कुंभराज ना सपूत
राज राजेश्वर
दया ना सागर
करुणा ना भंडार
19 मा तीर्थंकर
श्री मल्लिनाथ दादा ने
घणी खम्मा!
घणी खम्मा!
घणी खम्मा!
શ્રી મલ્લિનાથ ભગવાન
સોને કી છડી
રૂપે કી મશાલ
જરીયન કા જામા
મોતીયન કી માલા
આજુ સે બાજુ સે નિગાહ રખો
જીવદયા પ્રતિપાલક
ત્રણ લોક ના નાથ
દેવાધિદેવ
મિથિલા તીર્થ મંડન
પ્રભાવતી ના નંદન
રાજા કુંભરાજ ના સપૂત
રાજ રાજેશ્વર
દયા ના સાગર
કરુણા ના ભંડાર
19 મા તીર્થંકર
શ્રી મલ્લિનાથ દાદા ને
ઘણી ખમ્મા!
ઘણી ખમ્મા!
ઘણી ખમ્મા!

👑 Who is Shri Mallinath Bhagwan?
Bhagwan Mallinath is the nineteenth Tirthankar of the current time-cycle. Born in Mithila to King Kumbha and Queen Prabhavati, in the ancient Ikshvaku dynasty, the Lord is depicted with a blue (sapphire) complexion, and the emblem (lanchhan) is the kalasha (water pot). He attained moksha at Sammet Shikhar (Shikharji).
Mallinath is unique among the Tirthankars: the Shvetambar tradition holds that the Lord was born a princess, Malli — revered as a female Tirthankar — while the Digambar tradition holds the Tirthankar was male. The name is linked to mallika (jasmine), from a tender event during the mother's pregnancy.
