jai nakoda ji

हे नकोड़ा भैरु , मेरी अरज सुन लेना,
दया के सागर, मेरी खाली गागर को भर देना,
मेरी अरज सुन लेना !

मैं हू अधमी , मैं मूढ़ पापी, मैं तो हूँ बेसहारा,
ऐसी ज्योति जगा दो ज्ञान की, मिट जाए अंधियारा,
मेरी नैया डोले भंवर मे, जानू ना मैं खैना ,

दुनिया तो है भूल-भुलैया, जानू डगर ना मैं तेरी,
कैसे कटेगी, तू ही बता दे, जन्म मरण की ये फेरी,
मैं हूँ भिखारी, तेरा पुजारी ! शरण चरण की देना ||

History Of Nakoda Ji Tirth

The ancient name of this Tirth is mentioned as Virampur. Virsen and Nakorsen of the third century of the Vikram era built this temple and His HolinessJain Acharya Sthulibhadrasuri installed the idol. In course of time, this temple was renovated many times. When Alamshsh invaded this place in the year 1280 of the Vikram era (1224 AD), the Jain Sangha kept this idol hidden in the cellar in the Kalidrah village for protection. This temple was again renovated in the fifteenth century. 120 idols were brought here from Kalidrah and this beautiful and miraculous idol was installed here as Mulnayak (main idol of the temple) in the year 1429 of the Vikram era (1373 AD). Jain Acharya Kirtiratnasuri installed the idol Bhairav here. Apart from NakodaParsvanatha the other Jain temples here are dedicated to Rishabhadeva and Shantinath.

The Parsvanatha Jain temple was originally a temple of Mahavira. One of the Founding Trustees of the current temple at the Nakoda Tirthstan is the late Shri Keshrimal Sanghvi of the now defunct Patent Tiffin Carrier (PTC) company from Pune. The current generation of the Sanghvi Family still remain as one of the Trustees of the temple.
