[Scene opens with the King’s court. The King is seated on his throne. Acharya Hemchandra enters.]
Narrator: Long ago, in the land of Gujarat, reigned the mighty King Kumarpal. Under the guidance of the revered Acharya Hemchandra, he became a devout follower of Jainism and an exemplary supporter of the Jain Sangh.
Acharya Hemchandra (bowing): O King, your devotion to the Jain Sangh is well known. The sangh wishes to undertake a pilgrimage to Shatrunjay Tirth. Will you support this noble cause?
King Kumarpal (rising and folding hands): Gurudev, it is my greatest honor to serve the Jain Sangh. I will personally ensure that all arrangements are made for the pilgrimage. Let no devotee face any hardship.
Courtier (bowing): Your Majesty, the arrangements will be made at once—food, shelter, and protection for all pilgrims.
King Kumarpal: Let it be known throughout the land: whoever helps the Jain Sangh will be rewarded. It is my duty to serve all sadhus, sadhvis, and shravaks.
[Sangh Members enter, expressing gratitude.]
Sangh Member 1: O King, your compassion and sangh bhakti are unparalleled.
Sangh Member 2: You have set a shining example for all rulers. May your devotion inspire generations!
Acharya Hemchandra (raising hand in blessing): Kumarpal, your sangh bhakti will bring peace and prosperity to your kingdom. May you always abide by the teachings of Lord Mahavir.
King Kumarpal (humbly): With your blessings, Gurudev, I vow to continue serving the sangh and spreading the light of ahimsa and truth.
Narrator: Thus, King Kumarpal’s sangh bhakti became legendary. His devotion not only strengthened the Jain community but also brought glory to his reign.
[All characters join hands and recite the Navkar Mantra.]
All (together): Namo Arihantanam Namo Siddhanam Namo Ayariyanam Namo Uvajjhayanam Namo Loe Savva-sahunam
[Curtain closes.]
