Knowing the history of the invasions of Alexander, Babur and Nadir Shah, we are totally ignorant of the glorious victory story of the emperor Samprati!

Emperor Samprati had tremendous military strength and as a result he achieved great victories. There was an army of fifty thousand, nine lakh chariots, one crore cavalry and seven crore infantry. According to the scriptures of that time, the population of Jains in India alone was forty crores. Emperor Samprati did about thirteen thousand reservoirs, many charities, inns, rest houses, cages, mango orchards etc. for the welfare of the people.

The people who forget their history, their geography changes and their future becomes bleak. Even the progressive countries and peoples of the world today find solutions to current problems inspired by the traditions of their own history. According to that formula, in today's life, it has been proved that in every field, history is somehow followed. One of the glorious success stories of the relatively neglected Jain community of history is the glorious success story of the last unbroken flame of the Mauryan dynasty, the Samrat Samprati. His entire life's work is a perfect example of a great genius and a supreme worshiper of religion.

Emperor Ashoka propagated Buddhism outside India and made it the religion of the whole world, in the same way Samprati Maharaja, the grandson of the same Emperor Ashoka, tried to make it a world religion by spreading Jainism in the country and abroad. Ashoka's works are preserved in his monuments, inscriptions, edicts and copperplates, while not so many memories of a talented royal Maharaja like him are preserved, but the story of his glorious life is described in Kalikalsarvajna Hemchandravachana's Parisht. Maharaj Samprati's life is also described in character books like 'Samprati Katha' and 'Prabhavak Charitra'. That is why even in these special Buddhist texts, Maharaj Samprati is referred to as 'Sampai'. Renowned historian Vincent Smith says that Maharaj recently established centers of Jain culture in countries as far away as Iran and Arabia.

Emperor Ashoka's grandson Samrat is currently one of the greatest kings of all time. Both Emperor Ashoka and his grandson Samprati made strenuous efforts to make Indian culture a world culture. Emperor Maurya, who had other nicknames like Indrapalit, Sangat and Vigatashok, ascended the throne in 60 BC, but had been in charge of the state business for over a decade.

The stories of Sinkdar, Babur, Taimur Lung or Nadir Shah who invaded India from foreign lands come in our history, but history never tells the success story of the glorious victory achieved by the emperor. The events of the battle of Kalinga of Emperor Ashoka are recorded in the pages of history, but where is anyone to know anything about the conquest of Maharaja Samprati who conquered countries like Afghanistan, Iran, Arabia, Babylon, Syria, Greece, Egypt (Egypt)? It was not a victory march, but a victory march to spread Indian culture, non-violence and Jainism.

In 7 BC, the emperor Samprati started his conquest by conquering a mountainous region like Nepal. At that time, the treasury of Nepal was full of treasures, gems and gold like Kuber Bhandari. Emperor Samprati defeated the Sun-worshiping King Sthuko, who ruled the throne of Nepal. He built a suitable annuity for the dependent sthuks so that they could lead a dignified life and allowed them to live in the capital with their families. Emperor Samprati's goal was to spread the religion, so he built a new capital in a safe place. Despite conquering other countries, he built charities, cowsheds, temples and resorts in Nepal. It is rare in history for a victorious monarch to think so extensively of the welfare of the defeated people.

With the help of Nepal's mountain army, the emperor Samprati invaded and conquered the mountainous regions of Tibet and Khotan. The emperor then turned his attention to China. Realizing this, Emperor Si-Hu-Wang of China undertook the task of building a strong wall in the region from the Tibetan border to the Chinese border. About four lakh artisans worked day and night to build the wall. This work was done so strictly that any laborer who proved to be weak for this, was given the death penalty there to set an example.

The construction of the Great Wall of China made it impossible for Emperor Samprati to invade China by land, so with the help of his mountain conquering army, Samrat Samprati conquered cities like Tashkent, Samarkand and Merv in central Turkestan. Did. Thus his conquest was unbeaten from Iran to present day Egypt and after his return to Avanti he conquered the territories of South India.

Emperor Ashoka's efforts to propagate Buddhism in Sri Lanka and other countries are well known. Emperor Samprati in his time spread Jainism in countries like Arabia, Afghanistan, Turkey, Iran, Tibet, China, Burma, Assam, Sri Lanka. Jain temples were also built in some places and at that time there was no Islam in these regions, so the way of life of Jainism had a strong influence on the people who practiced different religions.

An ancient Jain statue found by a farmer digging in a garden near the Hungarian city of Budapest is believed to date back to the time of the emperor. Evidence of idolatry has also been found in Mongolia and thus Jain idols have been found in different countries.

The emperor recently summoned the kings of the territories he had conquered in the Aryan country. Sadhu Maharajs like Arya Mahagirisuri Maharaj and Arya Suhastisuri Maharaj explained the sentiments of Jainism to these kings in detail and when those kings returned to their kingdom, they carried out the work of Jainism in their country. He built new Jinmandirs in his kingdom. Held festivals. Declared non-violence.

The emperor Samprati had about eight thousand Khandiya kings. For 3 consecutive years of Veer Nirvana for almost 34 consecutive years, the news of the demise of the new Jinalaya was received daily, only after that he used to do Datan-Pani. The scriptures record that he erected one and a half crore jinn idols and one and a half lakh jinn chaityas. Coins with 'Sampratimaurya' on one side and 'Swastik' on the other were put into circulation.

Emperor Samprati had tremendous military strength and as a result he achieved great victories. There was an army of fifty thousand, nine lakh chariots, one crore cavalry and seven crore infantry. According to the scriptures of that time, the population of Jains in India alone was forty crores. Emperor Samprati did about thirteen thousand reservoirs, many charities, inns, rest houses, cages, highways, mango orchards etc. Made huge statues of the Lord. (In order)
