Sammed Shikhar ke baare mein jo aapne kaha hai, uska seedha jawaab yeh hai:

• Jain dharma mein kehna hai ki har jiva ke janam karma par nirbhar karte hain. Narak (narak-yoni) ya kisi bhi doosre jagah ka janam tabhi hota hai jab us jiva ke papa-punya ke phal poore hote hain.
• Sammed Shikhar ek pavitra tirth hai jo tapas, virakti aur punya ko badhata hai. Is jagah par sthir rehkar ya wahan ki chintan-viragya se karmon ki punya ki gati badh sakti hai ya unhe kam kiya ja sakta hai, lekin isse yeh guarantee nahi lagti ki kisi bhi prakar ke jiva ko narak se bachaya jaa sakta hai ya animals ko narak ki gati se alag rakha jaa sakta hai.
• Vaastavikhta yeh hai ki karmon ki magnitude ke hisaab se hi janam hota hai. Digambar ya Shwetambar paramparao mein is baat ki samajh thodi-thodi alag ho sakti hai, lekin mool principle wahi hai: karmo ki prakriti, unka paap-punya, aur unka parinaam hi ant mein nirdharit karta hai.

Agar aap chahein, to main aapke liye sammed-shikhar ya narak ke sambandh mein prachin Jain sutro ya stotron ki arth-vyakhya (arth) ko seedhe Jain sources ke hisaab se aur spast roop mein samjha sakta hoon.
