History 1

Shri Bhadrabahu Swami and

his older brother Varahmihir were

scholars in Vedas & Vidyas.

They met Shrut Kevali Yashobhadra Suri &

decided to take Diksha and become Jains.

In a short time, they became

scholars of scriptures of Jain Religion.


History 2

Shri Acharya Yashobhadra Suriji offered

AcharyaPad to Bhadrabhau and

appointed him as his successor.

He thought Bhadrabahu was

more qualified than

his older brother Varahmihir.


History 3

This decision irritated and enraged

Varahmihir who ultimately renounced

his Diksha (monk-hood) from Jain

Sangh and became fortune teller.

His ego was hurt for

not receiving AcharyaPad.


History 4

When a son was born to the king,

Varahmihir declared that he would live

for a hundred years,

but Bhadrabahu

declared that he would live for only

seven days, and that he would

be killed by a cat.


History 5

On the eighth day the prince died

because of a door's anklet falling

on his head which had a picture of cat

drawn on it.

Due to this humiliation Varahmihira

left the kingdom.


History 6

After few years Varahmihira passed away.

He had taken birth as ‘Vyantardeva’

(a class of forest dwelling heavenly god).

He came to recall his earlier birth and

soon out of jealousy (ego) and

anger, started inflicting pain (Upsarg) to

People of the Jain community (Sangh).


History 7

He became evil,

started torturing and terrorizing the Jains,

especially followers of Bhadrabahu,

by spreading plague amongst the Jain Sangh.

As a result of which,

many people began to die suddenly and

losing faith in the Jain religion.


History 8

Jain Sangh requested

Bhadrabahu Swami to

stop plague and the terror,

so he composed Uvasaggahar Stotra.

The impact of this stotra was so great

that the strength of Vyantardeva got

immensely diminished.


History 9

He also called upon Dharanendra,

the divine follower ( devta ) of

Parshvanath to help.

Through help of Dharanendra,

Varahmihir was fully defeated and

Jain society was relieved.


History 10

A badly burned pair of snakes,

Shri Parshwanath tried to save by

reciting Navkär Mantra

are said to be the soul of

yaksha and yakshini,

Dharanendra (Parshva) and Padmavati.

Pārshva Yaksha is deeply devoted to

Pārshva-Nāth Bhagawān;

reciting Uvasagga-haram Sutra,

Pleases Pārshva Yaksha

( & all others Yaksha and Yakshini ) ,

which brings forth the

beneficial results.


History 12

Previously, Stotra had 7 gathas (stanza) with

strong magical powers but because of

its misuse 2 gathas were taken out.

Presently it has 5 gathas.

It still has magical powers to resolve

earthly problems by the

grace of Dharanendra & Padmavati.
