: archive.org: The Jaina Iconography

۲ṣeٲ (यक्षेत) or Īśvara is the name of the Yakṣa accompanying Śṃśaٳ: the eleventh of twenty-four Tīrthaṃkaras or Jinas, commonly depicted in Jaina iconography.—The Jaina texts concur in giving Śṃśaٳ the symbol of a rhinoceros. The Yakṣa and the Yakṣiṇ� to serve him as guards of honour, have been named as ۲ṣeٲ and Mānavī (Digambara: Īśvara and Gaurī) respectively. The tree special to him was Tumbara or Tindaka according to some authorities. Rājā Tripiṣṭa Vāsudeva was to act as a Chowri-bearer.

context information

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, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
