    Ucha ucha satrunjay

    12 months ago 131

    It sounds like you’re referring to the popular Jain stavan “Uchcha uchcha Shatrunjay giri,” sung in praise of the holy Shatrunjaya (Palitana) tirth.

    Meaning (arth) of the refrain:

    • “Uchcha uchcha Shatrunjay giri, vandu hu vari vari” = “Lofty, lofty is Shatrunjaya Hill; I bow to it again and again.”
    • The stavan expresses deep devotion to Shatrunjaya, the siddha-kshetra of Adishwar (Rishabhdev) Bhagwan, and prays for inner purity, punya, and the strength to conquer passions—true “victory over enemies,” i.e., the inner kashayas.

    Tradition notes:

    • This stavan is widely sung in the Shwetambar (especially Murtipujak) tradition during tirth-bhakti and at home.
    • Digambar devotees equally revere Shatrunjaya (often called Pundarikgiri/Siddhakshetra) and sing their own bhajans; the devotional intent is the same, even if the wording/melody differs.

    If you wanted the full lyrics: many local versions exist, so lines can vary by sangh and pothi. The essence is consistent—glorifying Shatrunjaya, Adishwar Bhagwan’s main tonk, and the merit of darshan, puja, and yatra.
