After wandering in the glorious and sublime creation of U Panishad, now let's revisit Pavantirtha Shatrunjaya. Before looking at the glorious history of Shatrunjaya Tirtha, let us continue our journey by seeing the description given by Acharyasri Dhaneshwar Surishwarji Maharaj to the Mahatmya of this Tirthadhiraja.

Mahatmya of Tirthadhiraja

Acharya Shri Dhaneshwar Surishwarji has created an incomparable composition about Shri Shatrunjay Mahatirtha. He says that the pilgrim of Tirthadhiraja Shri Shatrunjaya gains high speed, but even the one who listens to the greatness of Shri Shatrunjayagiri makes his life meaningful. The statue of Acharyasri Dhaneshwar Surishwarji Maharaj is found on Tirthadhiraja. Even in the controversy of scripture they defeated the insistents of the second opinion. His book 'Shri' Shatrunjay Mahatmya ', which has nine thousand verses, bears witness to his erudition and devotional heart. Shri Shatrunjaya Mahatirtha was rescued by Shiladitya Raja in the fifth ara from the teachings of Acharya Dhaneshwar Surishwarji Maharaj. Such a great Acharyasri has said while describing the glory of hearing the greatness of this Giriraj.

"Oh my gosh! What is the purpose of penance, chanting, charity and good deeds? Once you listen to the Mahatmya of Shri Shatrunjayagiri. Why do you wander in all directions with the desire to practice religion? Go once and touch the shadow of Shri Pundarikgiri too! Nothing else needs to be done. All that is to be done as a result of being born a human being and listening to many scriptures is to succeed by listening to the story of Shri Shatrunjya Tirthadhiraja! So make the birth successful by doing it that way! "

"Oh my gosh! If you want to know the Tattva, if you have the mind to practice Dharma, then abandon all others and accept the Nishra of Shri Siddhagiriji Mahatirtha.

"There is no better work in the world to draw the attention of Shri Jineshwar Bhagwant to Shri Shatrunjya Tirthraj. There is no other Param Tirtha like this. And there is no other religion like the meditation of Shri Jineshwardev on such a very sacred pilgrimage site.

O virtuous souls! Listen to the Mahatmya of Tirthadhiraja Shri Shatrunjay Giriraj, so that disaster-free wealth can be attained.

Samvasarano on Shri Shatrunjaya Tirth

Equilibrium has immense glory in genocide. Where the gods themselves create samvasarana for the dharmadesh of Tirthankaras and Sur Asura or Manav - everyone is waiting for the opportunity. There is much to be said for the immense glory and majesty of Samvasaran. Gods, Goddesses, humans and even animals and birds come here to listen to the land of the Tirthankara Paramatma, so let us look at the samvasarana on Shri Tirthadhiraj Shatrunjaya.

Acharya Shrishrutsagarsuriji, who had attained Mahalabdhidhari during the reign of the fourth Tirthankar Shri Abhinandan Swami, came to Shri Shankheshwar and went to Vimaladri, and reached the town of Jitari Raja in the middle of the Sangh. When Raja Hansi and Sarsi both go to pay homage to Guru Maharaj along with the queens, Guru Maharaj describes the glory of Giriraj and says that from Shri Rishabhdev onwards, four Tirthankaras have metamorphosed at Giriraj and nineteen Tirthankaras will perform at Shatrunjaya

In the tenth canto of the book 'Shatrunjaya Mahatmya' it is said that Indra Maharaj in his household asked Shrineminath Bhagwan to take us on a pilgrimage to Shri Shatrunjayadi Tirtha. That is why this Giri is sanctified by the Charanraj of the Tirthankaras.

Describing the glory of Shatrunjaya Giriraj, Acharyasri Dhaneshwar Suriji Maharaj states that - "Once Shatrunjaya Mahatmya is heard with devotion, more auspicious fruit is obtained from listening to other scriptures. If you want to practice religion, take refuge in Siddhachal. Therefore, it is better to come to Siddhachal and meditate on Jineshwar, because there is no other pilgrimage like this in the fourteen realms. '' Shri Adijin Vintirup Stavan 'by Pujyapad Mahopadhyayji Shri Vinay Vijayji Maharaj is remembered here. Sometimes A.V. There is also writing at the behest of Ratnabhushan Suriji. '
