Rishabh was born to King Nabhi raja and Queen Marudevi at Ayodhya in the Ikshvaku clan. According to Jain beliefs, Rishabh existed before civilization developed. He taught people agriculture, tending of animals, cooking, and more. He had one hundred and one sons, and also one hundred and one pet dogs, which some books describe as being similar to the modern breed of dalmatians. His eldest son - Bharat - was a chakravarti king - the conqueror of the known world. In the later part of his life he retired to become a monk and attained nirvana. Since he became a siddha, he is occasionally worshipped. According to the Jain beliefs, India was named Bhārata-varsha or Bhārata after him. His second son was Bahubali, whose statue stands at Shravanabelagola, Karnataka as well as at Karkala. Marudevi mother of adinath was the first person to achieve nirvana or moksha - even before Rishabh himself. Rishabh's grandson Marichi's soul later became Mahavira. He attained 'kevalgnan' or infinite knowledge at Palitana and attained liberation (moksh or nirvana) at Ashtapad mountain in Himalayas.

Rishabha (Jain tirthankar)

Rishabha Deva or Aadinatha was born more than 5000 years ago estimated near about 3000 B.C.E. He belongs to the Houuse of Ikshwaku also known as "House of Sun". He is a forefather to Lord Rama, the Hindu avatar of Supreme God. He is considered the first Tirthankar of Jainism and referred to with the honorific prefix Lord.The worship of Rishabha Deva is found in Indus Valley Civilization or Harappan Civilization time period


According to Jain beliefs, Rishabha was the first Tirthankar of the present age (Avasarpini). Because of this, he had the name of Ādināth - the first lord. He became a Siddha, a liberated soul which has destroyed all of its karma.

Rishabh has been derieved from Sanskrit and it means morality, but it is often confused with the sanskrit word "Vrishabha," which means bull.

Bahubali

According to Jain Scriptures, Bahubali (also known as Gommateshvara) was the youngest of the one hundred sons of the first Tirthankara, Lord Rishabha and king of Podanpur.


The statue of Bahubali at Shravanbelgola dates from 978-993 AD.
The Contest
Bahubali's elder brother, Bharat, was envious of his wealth, grandeur, strength and success. His desire was all of Bahubali's kingdom and wealth, and thus, decided to attack the lands Bahubali ruled. Fearing that the war would destroy both the kingdoms, as well as thousands of innocent soldiers, the ministers of both sides began negotiations. After much thinking, it was decided that a personal contest between the two brothers would be a better option to war. The brothers were required to enter three traditional forms of martial contest: drisht yudha, jal yudha, and mal yudha.

The last fight was to be fought with hitting, with fist in head. Bharat had the first chance because he was elder than Bahubali, it made Bahubali landing half in ground. Now, it was Bahubali's turn. Bahubali's name means 'Bahu' - Arm, and 'Bali' - Strenth, he was known for his immense strenth in his arm. Everybody knew and worried, what if Bahubali's arm landed on Bharat; Bharat will probably die. This contest could have been easily won by Bahubali landing his fist on Bharat. But as Bahubali raised his arm to land a blow, he thought for a minute and realised that this fighting with elder brother for land, wealth, and power was totally insane and was not righteous or in good moral for a being son of Lord Rishabdev who was Tirthankar, a highly spiritual person.

As a rule for Kshatriya (Warrior), once he has taken action to do anything, it is not possible for him to move back or retreat from there. So, instead of landing a blow on his elder brother with raised arm, he simply changed his decision and removed his hair with the same fist, which would otherwise land on bharat. With this, he left away all the possessions he owned, and accepted Monk hood on his own. Learning from this scene, Bharat understood this soul's greed for land, money, power forgave his younger brother and then ruled for some more time, after then even Bharat accepted Monk hood from Lord Rishabdev.
