վṣṇܰᲹ (विष्णुरा�) is the name of an ancient king from Siṃhapura and father of Śreyāṃsa, according to chapter 4.1 [śreyāṃsanātha-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly:—“վṣṇܰ�, rich in glory, powerful from strength of arm, mighty as Viṣṇu, was king there (i.e., in Siṃhapura). In him the virtue called ‘subduing-the-senses� bore a brilliant heap of virtues, like a seed in the ground bearing a heap of grain. The Śrīs (Glories) and the Bhīs (Fears), respectively delighted with him submissive and angry with him hostile, were reduced to the state of ⲹṃv-wreaths at the sight of him. [...] Viṣṇu was the wife of the king, like Śacī of Jiṣṇu (Indra), radiant with beauty, like another earth in stability. [...]�.

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.
