णमो अरिहंताणं। णमो सिद्धाणं। णमो आयरियाणं। णमो उवज्झायाणं। णमो लोए सव्वसाहूणं॥ एसो पंच णमोक्कारो, सव्व-पाव-प्पणासणो। मंगलाणं च सव्वेसिं, पढमं हवइ मंगलं॥
Ṇamo Arihantāṇaṁ | Ṇamo Siddhāṇaṁ | Ṇamo Āyariyāṇaṁ | Ṇamo Uvajjhāyāṇaṁ | Ṇamo Loe Savvasāhūṇaṁ || Eso pañca ṇamokkāro, savva-pāva-ppaṇāsaṇo | maṅgalāṇaṁ ca savvesiṁ, paḍhamaṁ havaï maṅgalaṁ ||
Hindi Meaning

अरिहंतों को नमस्कार हो। सिद्धों को नमस्कार हो। आचार्यों को नमस्कार हो। उपाध्यायों को नमस्कार हो। लोक के सर्व साधुओं को नमस्कार हो। यह पाँचों नमस्कार सब पापों का नाश करने वाला है और सब मंगलों में प्रथम मंगल है।

English Translation

Salutation to the Arhats (the Omniscient Victors)! Salutation to the Siddhas (the Liberated Souls)! Salutation to the Acharyas (the Spiritual Heads)! Salutation to the Upadhyayas (the Preceptor Teachers)! Salutation to all the Sadhus (the Digambara Ascetics) in the universe! This fivefold salutation destroys all sin and is the foremost of all auspicious invocations.
