There are very few Jain homes without the Bhaktamara stotra book. Bhaktamara stotra provides protection from fright-worldly and/or spiritual - to the devotees. It consists of 44/48 verses for different purposes. Generally these are in diagrammatic form. The prayer is addressed to Rishabhadeva, the first Tirthankara, who is inscribed in the centre of the yantra. Two other Tirthankaras are in Kayotsarga (mentally abandoning the body) posture on either side of Rishabhadeva.
