General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Jainism峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 (啶嬥し啶え啶距ぅ) is another name for 峁氠梗abha, the first T墨rtha峁卥ara (Janism recognizes 24 such teachers or Siddhas). His colour is gold (办腻帽肠补苍补), according to Apar膩jitap峁沜ch膩 (221.5-7). His height is 500 诲丑补苍耻峁 (a single 诲丑补苍耻峁 (or, 鈥榖ow鈥�) equals 6 ft), thus, roughly corresponding to 914 meters. His emblem, or symbol, is a Bull.
峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补鈥檚 father is N膩bhi and his mother is Marudev墨. It is an ancient Jain practice to worship the T墨rtha峁卥ara鈥檚 parents in various rites, such as the 辫谤补迟颈峁ａ弓丑腻惫颈诲丑颈, according to the 膧c膩radinakara (14th century work on Jain conduct written by Vardham膩na S奴ri).
: archive.org: The Jaina Iconography峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 (啶嬥し啶え啶距ぅ) or 峁氠梗abhadeva refers to the first of twenty-four T墨rtha峁僰aras or Jinas, commonly depicted in Jaina iconography.鈥擨n the Jaina history of the Patriarchs, 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 or V峁涐梗abhan膩tha is regarded as the founder of the religion. Details of his history are preserved in the 膧dipur膩峁嘺 of the Digambaras, Kalpas奴tra and Hemachandra鈥檚 Tri峁峁ａ弓hi-艢al膩k膩puru峁caritra of the 艢vet膩mbaras.
From the categorical list of the L膩帽chanas or emblems of the Jinas given in the Pravacanas膩roddh膩ra we are informed that the first T墨rtha峁僰ara鈥檚 cognizance is a Bull. Over and above this symbol, we get a clue that he has also the symbol of Dharma-Cakra. [...] The tree connected with the first Jina is Nyagrodha or the Indian Banyan tree. Other iconographic marks of the Jina are his Yak峁 named Gomukha (lit., Bull-Faced) and Yak峁峁嚹� Cakre艣var墨 (Goddess of wheels) or Apaticakr膩. The texts give two worshippers on either side of 峁氠梗abhadeva viz., Bharata and B膩hubali.
The explanation of his bull symbol is clear from the origin of his name. His mother like the mothers of all the T墨rtha峁僰aras saw certain dreams and the first dream was about a bull. Hence,the name of the Jina as V峁涐梗abhan膩tha or 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 and the symbol of bull as invariably connected with his representation. The symbol of his Yak峁 Gomukha having a bull鈥檚 face has a definite connection with the same origin. Cakre艣var墨, the Yak峁峁嚹� of the Jina looks like the Vai峁ａ箛av墨, the wife of Brahmanic Vi峁ａ箛u.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
