Thus place is   sacred & pious as it is related with 3 Kalyanka – (i) Diksha (ii) Gyan (iii)   Moksha of 22nd Teerthankar Bhagwan Neminath. About 72 crore & 700 Muniraj   like son of Shri Krishna – Pradyumna Kumar, Shambhu Kumar, Aniruddha Kumar   achieved salvation at this place. According to Digambar Tradition, in the 2nd   decade ‘Munivar Dharsena Acharya’ ‘the master of Jain Text (Ang-Gyan)’, passed   on his precious knowledge to ‘Muni Pushpadanta’ & to ‘Muni Bhootbali’ in   Chandra Gupha (a cave) of Girnar Hill. After getting enlighted by the invaluable   knowledge they wrote ‘Shat Khand Agam’, the first ‘Shrut Skandha’. Both Muni   Pushpadanta & Muni Bhootbali achieved Mantra perfection on the ‘Siddha   Shila’ present on Girnar Hill. Before them Bhagwan Neminath also achieved   salvation on this Siddha Shila. This place has also been visited by last   Shrutkevli Acharya Bhadrabahu, Acharya Kund-Kund, Samantbhadra and many other   Muniraj (Jain Saints). This Kshetra is famous as blessed land as it is   related to Bhagwan Neminath’s 3 Kalyanka viz Diksha, Gyan, Moksha. This place is   also famous as ‘Urjayanta Giri’.
 Acharya Samantbhadra while appreciating   about ‘Urjayanta Giri’ in his “Swayambhu Stotra” has written –
 “Hey   Urjayanta! You stand high as the hump on the land, Vidyadhar Pairs (Persons   having abnormal powers uncommon to general man) reside over you, you are well   adorned by spires, clouds just touch your surface & ‘Indra’ himself marked   the symbol of Bhagwan Neminath by his ‘Vajra’ on your blessed land.”   (127)

The slope begins after walking little   further or we can say 100 steps further from Dharmashala. The stairs are also   constructed for climbing up the hill.
 First Tonk – After covering 3 km   distance of ascension there is one cave being named as ‘Rajul Gupha’. One has to   bend to cross this cave. The new idols installed by Shwetambars are present here   and one ornamented idol of ‘Rajul’ & one idol of ‘Rathnemi’ are constructed   here.
 A little distance further from cave a Digamber Jain Dharmashala is   present and in the campus of this Dharmashala one umbrella and three temples are   present. The 4 feet high Khadgasana ultra ancient idol of Bhagwan Bahubali is   installed in one little temple. Beside this temple the foot images of Acharya   Kund Kund in white stone are made under one umbrella and 5 idols of ‘Panch   Parmeshthi’ are carved in wall present in front of it. Beside the umbrella there   is one temple in which one black stone’s 1 foot 7 inch high Padmasana idol of   V.S. 1745 is installed. On both sides of this idol the 1 foot 11 inch high   ancient white stone’s idols of Bhagwan Parshvanath are installed in Padmasana.
 One huge temple is constructed in this campus and this temple has one   sanctum & one assembly hall. Many idols of Bhagwan Neminath, Shantinath   & Parshvanath are installed on Altar. The size of these idols ranges from 1   foot to 1 foot 8 inch.
 A ‘Gomukh’ exists near here. From this Gomukh stream   of water keeps flowing continuously and lot of ponds are formed here because of   this stream of water. Foot prints of 24 Threethankars are made on one Altar   present on wall behind this Gomukh.
 After moving little further from this   place, the one reaches to entrance gate of fort of ‘Rakhangar’. On the left side   of this huge gate there is one beautiful temple of Bhagwan Neminath, this temple   comes under possession of Shwetambars now a days. There is a group of 9 artistic   Shwetambar temples near Bhagwan Neminath temple. These were constructed by   Vastupal, Tejpal, King Kumarpal, Minister Sajjan & others etc.
 Second   Tonk – After climbing stairs starting from First Tonk one reaches to Second   Tonk. This Second Tonk is the ‘Nirvan’ (Salvation) place of Aniruddha Kumar. The   foot images of ‘Aniruddha Kumar’ are also present here. There is one huge temple   of ‘Ambadevi’. In previous this temple was Digambar Temple, but now it is in   possession of Hindus.
 Third Tonk – On moving further foot images of Shambhu   Kumar are present on left side. It is also ‘Nirvan’ place of ‘Shambhu Kumar’.   Here also Hindus have constructed their temples.
 Fourth Tonk – The stairs   are not available for reaching at this place. This is a straight hill. Reaching   up to this place requires courage, strength & lot of hard work. It is   ‘Nirvan’ place of ‘Pradyumna Kumar’ and his foot images are also present here.
 Fifth Tonk – After going in upward direction from Fourth Tonk one reaches to   Fifth Tonk. It is ‘Nirvan’ place of Bhagwan ‘Neminath’. The foot images of   Bhagwan Neminath are also present here under main umbrella. Behind these foot   images a magnificent Digamber idol of Bhagwan Neminath is being installed.   Hindus believe that foot images are foot images of ‘Dattatreya’ and they have   forcibly taken the possession of this place.
 When one again comes back to   this place then stairs are available for the place ‘Sahastramravan’ from First   Tonk. It is ‘Diksha’ & ‘Gyan’ Kalyanka place of Bhagwan Neminath. The foot   images of Bhagwan Neminath are present under one umbrella.
