It is next to impossible to lay out the greatness and glory of Shatrunjay Tirth (Palitana). Likewise, it is difficult to do the same for Girnar Tirth, which is considered to be the 5th peak of Shatrunjay Tirth. Our sages of the past too have sung glory of Girnar in various scriptures. Below is a glimpse of the greatness of Girnar Tirth based on these scriptures.

• Girnar is the place where 10 Tirthankaras from the previous time cycle (Chovishi) attained emancipation (Moksha Kalyanak).

• Girnar is the place where the 22nd Tirthankar of the current time cycle i.e. Lord Neminath accepted monkhood (Diksha Kalyanak), attained absolute knowledge (Kevalgyan Kalyanak) and got emancipation (Moksha Kalyanak).
