Narayaneeym vs Jinagam

The Narayaneeyam, a great Sanskrit epic, is a brilliant condensation in 1036 shlokams of the great epic Bhaagavatham composed by Vyaasa. The central theme of Narayaneeyam is Bhakti (devotion). In literary merit, the Narayaneeyam holds pride of place in Sanskrit poetry. According to legend, Bhattathiri acquired the dreaded condition of paralysis, voluntarily, by praying to the Lord Krishna, for transferring the disease to him from his teacher of Sanskrit grammar, Achyuta Pisharoty, who had been suffering from it, thereby relieving his Guru from the ailment. Subsequently, Bhattathiri had himself carried to the temple of Lord Krishna at Guruvayur, and lying prostrate before the Lord, he sought shelter and relief at the Lord's Lotus-Feet.

Jinagam is a digital sanctum for the Jain śāstras — the timeless teachings of the Tīrthaṅkaras, preserved across centuries in Sanskrit and Prakrit, and now made accessible to every seeker in their own language. Every verse is presented in its original script alongside word-by-word breakdown, padaccheda, parallel translations, and section-by-section audio narration. Tap any Sanskrit term to see its root, meaning, and grammatical role in English, Hindi, or Kannada. Sit with a passage in quiet, bookmark it, write a reflection — the way you would with a printed śāstra in your home shrine. WHAT'S HERE TODAY • Tattvārtha Sūtra of Ācārya Umāsvāmī — the universal compendium of Jain philosophy. 357 sūtras, translated and analysed in English, Hindi, and Kannada, with word-by-word breakdown of every Sanskrit term and parallel commentary from the classical tradition. • Bhaktāmara Stotra of Ācārya Mānatuṅga — the cherished devotional hymn to Bhagavān Ṛṣabhadeva. 48 verses with full meaning, atom-by-atom breakdown of compounds and sandhi, and traditional chant recordings. THE FOUR ANUYOGAS The Jain canon is organised into four anuyogas — four ways of approaching the teaching, suited to different students, subjects, and stages of study. Jinagam is built to cover all four: • Prathamānuyoga — universal history, the lives of the Tīrthaṅkaras and the sixty-three great men. • Karaṇānuyoga — cosmology, the mathematics of bondage and liberation: Tiloyapaṇṇattī, Gommaṭasāra, Ṣaṭkhaṇḍāgama. • Caraṇānuyoga — right conduct, the discipline of monks and householders side by side. • Dravyānuyoga — metaphysics, anekāntavāda, syādvāda — the inquiry into reality itself: Samayasāra, Pravacanasāra, Sarvārthasiddhi.
