Editing Hymn (section)

===Jainism===
{{Further|Bhaktamara Stotra}}Known as ''stavan'' or, in [[Hindi]], ''bhajan'', [[Jainism|Jain]] hymns are composed and performed to praise the Jinas. Written in every language Jains have used, the predominant pada form reflects Jain involvement in Indian poetics and in the ''[[bhakti]]'' devotional movement more commonly associated with [[Hinduism]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Songs of devotion |url=https://jainpedia.org/themes/practices/songs-of-devotion/ |access-date=2024-04-10 |website=Jainpedia |language=en-US}}</ref>

Musically, Jain hymns can be grouped into the folk genres of devotional music in western India, such as Gujarāti rās-garbā and [[Rajasthani languages|Rājasthāni]] folk music.

There are six obligatory acts that are expected to be performed by Jains sequentially as a single act twice daily. The second one of these is showing reverence to the [[Ford-Makers|ford-makers]], which is done by reciting a twenty-four-verse hymn of praise to the [[Tirthankara]]s.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Robinson |first1=Thomas Arthur |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=20DBvovDC0QC&q=%22jainism%22+%22hymn%22 |title=World Religions |last2=Rodrigues |first2=Hillary |date=2006 |publisher=Hymns Ancient and Modern Ltd |isbn=978-0-334-04014-9 |pages=228 |language=en}}</ref>

One of the most popular devotional hymns of the Jains is the ''[[Bhaktāmara Stotra|Bhaktāmara-stotra]]'' – ''Devoted Gods'' hymn. Both main sects of [[Sthanakvasi|Śvetāmbaras]] and [[Digambara]]s accept it, counting 44 and 48 stanzas respectively. It is dedicated to the first Jina, Ṛṣabhanātha or Lord Ṛṣabha, frequently known as [[Rishabhanatha|Ādinātha]], meaning ‘First Lord’. The title comes from the first verse, which says that ‘his feet enhance the lustre of the jewels set in the crowns lowered by the devoted gods’.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Bhaktāmara-stotra |url=https://jainpedia.org/themes/principles/sacred-writings/highlights-of-jainpedia/bhaktamara-stotra/ |website=Jainpedia}}</ref>
