________________ F05 Story Stories after Bhagwän Mahävir 02 King Samprati Moral: Service to others is one of the many ways one can follow Jainism, and Samprati certainly demonstrated this quality. He not only helped promote Jainism by renovating and building temples and installing Tirthankar idols in existing temples, but he also helped reduce the pain and suffering of the poor. We should also strive to serve others. His life story demonstrates that a religious deed performed even for a short while gives manifold results. In addition, it creates a chain of good deeds leading to beneficial results. Highlights: King Samprati was reborn as the grandson of King Ashok because he acquired punya karma in his previous life due to becoming a monk and bearing his stomach pains quietly. He heard about his previous life from a Jain Ächärya Suhastigiri. He became a devout Jain and followed Jain principles. He arranged for the installation of more than 100,000 Tirthankar idols and for the construction or renovation of 36, 000 temples. Compendium of Jainism - 2015 Page 373 of 398
