Jinendra bhagwan ka gungaan (stuti, bhakti, kirtan, stavan, mantra‑jap) karna Jain dharm mein bahut bada puṇya‑karm ka kāraṇ batāyā gaya hai.

Saral shabdon mein:

1. Kaun‑sa punya hota hai?

- Jinendra, Tirthankar, Siddh, Acharya, Upadhyaya, Sadhu aadi ka yaad, stuti, namaskār se śubh punya bandhta hai. - Isse aage chal kar sukh, sukhad janm, dharmik parivār, dharm kruti ka avsar adi milte hain. - Agar bhakti vinay, shraddha, aur asakti‑rahit mann se ho, to yeh punya adhik pavitra (shuddha punya) maana jata hai.

1. Bhakti se kya-kya labh (punya‑phal) batāye gaye hain?

(Jain granthon aur ācāryon ke anusar, saṅkṣep mein): - Dukh, sankat, rog, daridra se bachāv ka kāraṇ banne wala punya. - Achchha manushya janm, uttam parivar, dharm mile aisa paryavāsan dene wala punya. - Sadvritti, vinay, dayā, kṣamā, saiyam jaise guṇ uday mein aate hain – yeh bhi punya ka hi phal hai. - Jo bhakti ke samay krodh, mān, māyā, lobh ko kam karne ka bhāv rakhta hai, usse aisa punya bandhta hai jo aage moksh‑marg mein sahayak banta hai.

1. Sirf gungaan se hi kaam ho jata hai?

- Jain darshan ke anusar, sirf gungaan karne se moksh nahi milta, lekin - shraddhā badhti hai, - man pavitra hota hai, - dvait‑bhāv kam hota hai, - aur aage chal kar samyak darshan, samyak jñān, samyak chāritra lene ki tayyāri hoti hai. - Isliye bhakti ko moksh‑marg ka sahayak upāy maana gaya hai, antim lakshya nahi.

1. Bhav ka bahut mahatva hai

- Agar koi gungaan dikhāve, ahankār, swarth, ya sirf man‑rangan ke liye kare, to usse milne wala punya kamzor ya papa‑anubandhi ho sakta hai. - Agar koi dheere, dhyān se, shraddhā se, ahinsā‑bhāv se stuti kare, to bahut śubh punya bandhta hai.

1. Digambar – Shvetambar drishti

- Dono paramparāyen Jinendra stuti, mantra, stavano, aartiyon ko punya‑karm ka kāraṇ mānti hain. - Granth, stavano ke naam, dhang alag ho sakte hain, lekin mūl siddhānt ek hi hai – Jinendra ka smaran, namaskar, gungaan punya‑upārjan aur antarik śuddhi ka upay hai.

Saṅkṣep: Jinendra ka gungaan karne se śubh punya bandhta hai jo is janm aur aane wale janmon mein sukh, dharm, achchhe avsar deta hai, aur sahi bhav ke saath ki gayi bhakti moksh‑marg par chalne ki tayyari karwati hai.
