Jainism ke prasiddh prachin katha ke anusar, Shatrunjay ke uddhar ki bhavna Ratnasen Raja ko hui thi.

Kahani yeh hai ki ek baar Ratnasen Raja apne rajya mein jalti hui diye ki vat (batti) ko le ja rahe the. Tabhi unhone dekha ki ek chhota sa undir apne ghar ki taraf ja raha hai aur apna bhojan lekar jaa raha hai. Usne socha ki jab ek chhota prani bhi apne ghar ko uddhar (suraksha) ke liye itna prayas karta hai, toh mujhe bhi apne atma ke uddhar ke liye Shatrunjay (Pavitra Jain Teerth) ki yatra evam seva karni chahiye.

Isi prerna se Ratnasen Raja ne Shatrunjay Teerth ka uddhar (punaruddhar) kiya tha. Yah katha Jain sampraday mein bahut prasiddh hai, jo bhav-sanskar aur atma-uddhar ki bhavna jagane ke liye kahi jaati hai.
