The Uvasaggaharam Stotra is a five verse Prakrit hymn in praise of Parshvanatha, the twenty third Tirthankara, attributed to the monk Bhadrabahu and traditionally held to remove obstacles and misfortune from a devotee's life. It is one of the Navsmaran, the nine sacred hymns recited daily by followers of the Svetambara Murtipujaka sub-sect, and tradition holds that the surviving five verses are a reduction from a longer original whose missing verses were suppressed because their recitation was said to invoke minor deities.
