The Jain is one of the greatest prophets or 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补蝉 of the Jainas. Some of the Jain scholars (Davids 1911: 543) regard him as the true founder of Jainism. Bhattacharya (1974:58) observed that, 鈥淗is historicity is unquestioned, his date is almost precisely known and his influence on the Jain religion is of leading importance.鈥� According to the Jain 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉 and Caritas he was born about 817 BCE and died about 717 BCE. His father 础艣惫补蝉别苍补, the king of Benares, gave 笔腻谤艣惫补 in marriage to the daughter of Prasenajit, king of 碍辞艣补濒补. But, like Prince 厂颈诲诲丑腻谤迟丑补, 笔腻谤艣惫补 left the princess to follow the life of an ascetic at 30 years of age. For about 70 years, he preached his doctrines and finally attained 惭辞办峁�a (liberation) on Mt. Summet 艢颈办丑补谤补 which is now known after him as Giri 笔腻谤艣惫补n膩tha Hill in south Bihar (near Dhanbad) (Bhattacharya ibid, Nagar 1999:134-5).

From the Jain canonical texts, we know that his 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 or cognizance is a snake. In sculpture he is not only represented by a snake in the usual place of the emblem, but also with a three or seven or eleven hooded snake canopy upon his head.

His 驰补办峁�a is 顿丑补谤补峁噀苍诲谤补 and 驰补办峁�i峁嚹� is known as Padm膩vati. This king, who stands by his side as a chowri-bearer is known as Ajitar膩ja. The 顿别惫补诲腻谤耻 is his kevala-tree. It is interesting to mentioned here that a Kannada poet known as 笔腻谤艣惫补pa峁囜笉ita was composed 笔腻谤艣惫补n膩thapur膩峁嘺m in the early stage of the thirteen century CE. and in this text he does not much described about the iconographic details of 驰补办峁�a and 驰补办峁Ｄ� of 笔腻谤艣惫补n膩tha. Where as he described 顿丑补谤补峁噀苍诲谤补 as the leader of the 狈腻驳补蝉 and the destroyers of the upsargas created by 碍补尘补峁环补 and he also mentioned how 顿丑补谤补峁噀苍诲谤补 spread his enormous hood over the mediatation 笔腻谤艣惫补. On the other hand Padm膩vati held anumbrella to protect her husband in turn. This type of the story is quite popular in the sculptural art of Karnataka region however, in the 笔腻谤艣惫补n膩tha images of eastern India specially ancient Bengal we found an unusual type of depiction of 驰补办峁�a and 驰补办峁�i峁嚹�. In some of the 笔腻谤艣惫补n膩tha images 碍补尘补峁环补 episode is also elaborately depicted.
