Aap jo baat keh rahe hain, usme do baatein alag‑alag samajhni zaroori hain:

1. Acharya bhagwant ki baat jhooth nahi hoti

Acharya, Upadhyay, Sadhu bhagwant śāstra ke ādhār par, aur bhāv jagāne ke liye, tirth ki mahimā batāte hain. - Jab ve kehte hain ki “Śrī Simandhar Swami bhi Śhetrunjay ki mahimā karte hain”, to isko do tarah se samjha jata hai: - Vyavahār / bhāv‑arth se: Simandhar Swami sarvatr tīrth‑bhūmi, pavitra kṣetro ki mahimā karte hain; unki drishti se har aise tīrth ka mān badhtā hai. Acharya bhagwant isko niśchit, vyakt roop se bata kar hamari shraddhā badhāte hain. - Niścay se: Vastu‑taḥ Simandhar Swami Mahāvideh kṣetra mein hain; wahān se ve Bhārat‑kṣetra ke Shetrunjay par sharīrik roop se aakar stuti nahi karte. Yah bāt tīrth‑mahatmya ke bhāva‑pārśva se kahi jati hai, “jagata‑pūjya Tīrthankar bhī is tīrth ko mānte yogya hai” – aise arth se.

Isliye yah kehna ki “sirf shraddhā badhane ke liye jhooth bol rahe hain” – ye uchit nahi. Ye alankārik, bhāv‑pūrṇ bhāṣā hoti hai, jhooth nahi.

1. Tīrth‑mahatmya grantho ki bhāṣā

Shatrunjay, Sammed Śikhar, Girnar adi ke mahatmya‑granth me aksar aise vakya milte hain: - “Anant Tirthankar yahan virāje”, - “Deva, gandhar, siddh shriharshit hote hain” इत्यादि. In sab ka uddeshya: - tīrth ko param pavitra dikhāna, - jīv me adhik shraddhā aur vinay jagānā, - tīrth‑yātrā ko mokṣa‑mārga se jodnā hota hai.

Simandhar Swami ka nām lekar mahimā kaha jaye to arth ye: - “Jis pramāṇ ke Tirthankar is samay Mahāvideh mein upasteet hain, unke mān ke layak yeh Shetrunjay tīrth hai.”

1. Āgam aur paramparā ke viruddh kuch nahi

- Jain āgam aur lok‑prakrit granth dono me yahi siddhānt hai ki: - Simandhar Swami Mahāvideh kṣetra me hain. - Bhārat kṣetra me is kaal me koi jīv Tirthankar avasthā me nahi. - Is siddhānt ke khilāf agar koi vāstavik daavā hota (jaise “Simandhar Swami Shetrunjay par sharīr se ākar pravachan dete hain”), to vah galat mānā jata. - Lekin “mahima karte hain” bhāv‑rūp vāky hai, jo ātmik drishti se samjhā jata hai, itihaasik report jaise nahi.

Isliye:

• Acharya bhagwant ko galat ya jhooth bolnewala maanna durust nahi.
• Unki bhāṣā ko tīrth‑mahatmya ke bhāv, alankār aur vyavahār‑naya se samjhna chahiye.
• Niścay se hamesha yaad rakhen: Simandhar Swami – Mahāvideh kṣetra; Shetrunjay – Bhārat kṣetra ka ati‑pavitra mokṣa‑sthal.
