Pundarik Kundrik ki kahani Jain dharm ki ek prachin kahani hai jo karma aur pravrtti (vairagya) ke fal ko samjhati hai.

• Pundarik Swami (Pundarik) Rishabhanath ke putra aur unke kul ka ek pramukh Gandhar (ganadhara) the. Shatrunjaya, Palitana par unka sthan bahut pavitra mana jata hai.
• Kahaniyon ke mutabik, Pundarik Swami ne apne samay ki moha aur ragi bhavon par vijay paane ke liye tapasya ki. Unhone sanyas ka marg chuna aur anek muniyon ke saath dharma ki shiksha aur vivek ko prapt kiya.
• Shatrunjaya par unhone nirvana (moksha) praapt kiya. Is sthaan ki kahaniyon me kaha jata hai ki Pundarik Swami ke saath kai munijana ne moksha ki or yatra ki.

Pundarik Kundrik kahani ka vartman arth (arth):

• Karma ke bandhan ko todne ke liye sadhana, vivek aur vairagya bahut mahatvapurn hain.
• Yadi man mein samyak darshan ho aur bhay, lobh, moh jaise mohin karmon par niyantran ho, to vali asaktiyon ke bavjud bhi vyakti moksha ki or badh sakta hai.
• Do bhaiyon ki kahaniyon me, ek ne viragya ki or agrasar hokar jeevan ki aankhon me sacchi dharma ki chamak rakhi; doosre ne raj ki lalasa me atankit aur duniyaik bhog me ulajh kar karmo ki ghanti ko majboot banaya. Isse karma ke phal ki pratibodh hoti hai.

Digambar vs. Shwetambar sankhya:

• Pundarik Swami ki kahaniyan Jain paramparaon me aam taur par ek hi roop me varnit hoti hain, lekin kuch vishay (jaise unke jeevan ke vishesh tandav ya chaitra purnima ka ullekh) par Digambar aur Shwetambar traditions me thoda alag praman mil sakta hai. Aksar mool sankshipt arth karmo ki samajh, vairagya aur moksha par kendrit hota hai.

Yeh chhoti kahani ki roop me aap samajh sakte hain ki Pundarik Swami kis tarah se moksha ki or gaye aur isse hamein karma aur vairagya ki shiksha milti hai.
