I want Anupama Devi story book
Anupama Devi is famous in Jain stories as the wise and religious wife of Tejpal, the younger brother of Vastupal.
Here is a simple version of her story:
- Vastupal and Tejpal were ministers of King Vir Dhaval in Gujarat.
- Tejpal’s wife, Anupama Devi, was very intelligent, soft‑spoken, and deeply religious.
- Once, both brothers and their families went on a Jain pilgrimage. The area ahead was full of thieves, so they decided to bury their jewelry and money in the ground for safety.
- While digging, they found a big pot full of jewels and coins already buried there.
- They were confused: “Whose wealth is this? What should we do with it?”
- Anupama Devi immediately said:
- With this noble thought, they decided to use that wealth to build magnificent Jain temples (like the famous Dilwara temples on Mount Abu).
- In this way, Anupama Devi showed ideal dāna (charity), vivek (right thinking), and deep devotion to Jain dharma.
So, while there may not be a separate “Anupama Devi story book” commonly printed only on her, her story is usually included in Jain story books under “Vastupal–Tejpal”.
