Shri Shatrunjay Laghu Kalpa
(9) In Shatrunjay one gets the same 'Punya' by observing a single 'Upavas' which can be earned by offering choiced food to a crore of people at other 'Thirthas'.
(10) All the sacred places of 'Trilokas' are considered to be worshipped just by worshipping Shri Pundarikgiri.
(11) While serving Shri Sangh proceeding towards Shatrunjay one attains 'Punya' whether he reaches or not. One attains crore times 'Punya' even if he is unable to reach, whereas one who reaches attains infinite 'Punya'.
(12) By worshipping Pundarikgiri all the places, where the monks became 'Kevalis' and the saints attained 'Moksha', are considered to be worshipped.
(13) By worshipping Pundarikgiri one attains a hundred times more 'Punya' than by worshipping all of the following sacred places:
(a) Shri Ashtapada 'Tirtha' ('Nirvana' place of Shri Rishabhadev) (b) Sametshikhar Tirtha' ('Nirvana' place of twenty Tirthankaras) (c) Pavapuri 'Tirtha' ('Nirvana' place of Mahavir Swami) (d) Champapuri 'Tirtha' ('Nirvana' place of Vasupujay Swami), and (e) Girnar Tirtha' ('Nirvana' place of Neminath).
(14) On Shri Shatrunjay, one attains a unit 'Punya' by worshipping an idol, 100 times 'Punya' by installing an idol, a 1,000 times 'Punya' by getting a temple constructed, and infinite 'Punya' is earned by defending it.
(15) One who installs an idol or erects a temple on Shri Shatrunjay will enjoy the kingship of Bharat Kshetra, will enter the gates of heaven, and ultimately will attain Moksha'.
(16 & 17) One who is having noble desires and remembering Pundarikgiri, if he does -
(a) Navkarshi will gain 'Punya' of two 'Upavas'; (b) Porshi will gain 'Punya' of three 'Upavas'; (c) Parimuddha will gain 'Punya' of four 'Upavas';
