In the evening, if devotion is echoed in three hundred temples of Kumbhalgarh, such a scene will be created, right?

Ma Haraj Samprati received the title of 'Priyadarshi' and this Priyadarshi performed Dharmakarya at a very supernatural speed. Reporting this, Mr. C.J. Inspired by Shah, the late Dr. Kalabahen Shah, the compiler of the forgotten Yashogatha Granth of the Emperor of India, has given some research information. He noted that -

Maharaja Samprati had written 6 different types of scriptures in 4 places to describe his moral duties to the future people. Currently, theology has been carved in every corner of India. The timeline maintained in these scripts shows that he started carving such scripts in the twelfth year of his coronation and his last scripture found today is carved in the twenty-seventh year of the coronation. Thus this sacred activity of his would have lasted for at least fifteen years.

Its thirty-six scripts contain 12 main inscriptions, two different inscriptions, four secondary inscriptions, seven main inscriptions, six secondary inscriptions and three cave inscriptions. Fragmented copies of fourteen of these major inscriptions are found at seven places namely Girnar, Kalsi, Shahbaz Gadhi, Majshera, Sopara, Dhauli and Jagouda.

In these scriptures, Dharmapadesh, Dharmaprachar, Dharmavijya, Dharmashravan, Dharmaniyam, Dharmasahisanuta, Dharmamangal, Dan, Alok-Parlok Siddhi as well as the duties of one's own descendants, state employees and the duties of the people have been directed in the form of Dharmashasan. There is a spirit.

In every scripture of the present day, one or the other type of sermon remains as the minister. In the first inscription, he advises the people to celebrate the festival by banning violent fairs. In the third inscription, he advises to show respect and generosity towards Brahmins, Gurus, elders, laborers etc. along with the teachings of Aparigraha. In the fourth inscription, he emphasizes the growth of non-violence, modesty, conscience, etc. In the seventh inscription he describes the need for moderation, purity, non-attachment, gratitude and strong devotion in life.

Dashama gives proper advice to the people by preaching renunciation and Dharma-Parakrama. In the Eleventh, he emphasizes on noble values ​​like non-violence, charity, service, nursing, Dharmasatvan. In the secondary inscription of Brahmagiri, he gives importance to truth, service, care.

Now consider the column of the emperor's wealth, then in the first column he teaches all actions to be done in the way of religion. In the second column, he emphasizes on charity, kindness, truth, defecation, little shelter, etc. The third teaches to avoid shelter. In the fourth it emphasizes charity and penance. The seventh teaches to increase religion in various ways by way of price and matter.

In the fourth main inscription, he describes the program of attracting the people to the path of religion by making them see the divine forms of the plane elephant, fire, shoulder etc. In the fifth, in the thirteenth year of the coronation, he introduces the special officers called 'Dharma Mahayatras' appointed for evangelism and in the seventh, he describes his duties in the main column.

In these inscriptions, inscriptions and inscriptions, there is a magnificent image of the emperor with high spirits and liberal piety.

But the question arises as to where the many temples, statues, inscriptions or pillars built by the emperor have gone today? Jain texts contain details of the destruction of Jain temples by the Kalki king. History mentions King Agnimitra, who came to the throne fifty years after the present king and immediately destroyed the Jain temples with malice. Then the temples may have been destroyed due to Muslim invasions and also due to natural calamities. Today we have only a few temples and statues reminiscent of that powerful emperor. Through research, it is necessary to strive to revive the ancient history and the great Jinmandirs.

Emperor Samprati built a fort at Kumbhalgarh in Rajasthan. At that time there were more than five thousand people living in Kumbhalgarh and as the fort was dilapidated, Rana Kumbha, who built a fort at Mewar in the fifteenth century, built a huge fort on it.

When you go to Kumbhalgarh today, there is no special mention of Maharaja Samprati. Only the stories of Rana Kumbha are found. The Jain community has so utterly neglected its history that even in the 'Light and Sound Show' shown in Kumbhalgarh, the abode of this great emperor, the great work of the emperor is not recognized. In Kumbhalgarh, Maharaja Samprati built a fort and built a 6 km wall. It would be rare for such a large wall to be erected to protect the state.

History says that there were about three hundred Jinmandirs in Kumbhalgarh. A team of researchers (including this author) embarked on a tour of the temples. The idols in these temples were probably destroyed due to the Muslim invasion. But these invaders have left the architecture of the temple to them. In some temples, white idols are found in the basements. Looking at the dilapidated deras of Kumbhalgarh even today, one realizes its excellent Jahojalali. It is said that there were three hundred Jinmandirs here at that time. But at present one hundred and sixty-five Jinmandirs are said to be found. Hinduism also had more than 50 temples.

The most remarkable thing is that the construction, architecture, size, appearance of one Jain temple here is quite different from another Jain temple. A temple is like a high and small deri, while a temple is like a huge temple with fifty-two jinalayas. Each of these also has a variety of carvings. Beautiful carvings can be seen on the gates, roofs, pillars and recesses of these temples.

Seeing one of these 52 Jinalayas, we all jumped up and said, 'This must be renovated.

If this pilgrimage is revived, it will remain an important pilgrimage. Its grandeur is dazzling. Delays have artistic sculpture.

And on its roof is a beautiful architecture of goddesses and dancers. If one circumambulates the thirty-six kilometer wall around Kumbhalgarh, one will see many such deras. What can a society immersed in festivals do for such research?

Spread over three hundred acres, these one-of-a-kind jinalayas are a thong for the restoration today. If all these temples are renovated, then there will be a time when songs of devotion are being sung in three hundred temples at the same time, idols are being worshiped, evening aarti is being performed and research on the emperor is currently going on in this holy historical land. If this happens, what a magnificent view!

He has built towns, inns, charities, cages, hospitals, wells, lakes, caves and highways along with the stupas, pillars, jinn statues, jinn palaces etc. of the emperor from the history books. Evidence of three towns can be found today from the town he built, namely Shravan Bel Gola, Srinagar and Devapattam. According to the story of Jain literature, along with the mentions of charities and caves established by him, at present, one and a half crore Jain idols have been filled. One and a half lakh new Jain temples were built and thirty six thousand Jinmandirs were renovated. There was no practice of writing on idols at that time, so there is no inscription on this subject. There are also various records of its number in different scriptures, but it is certain from this that the king had a strong spirit at present.
