AJITANATHA
श्री अजितनाथ भगवान
Ajitanatha, like Rishabha, was born in the Ikshvaku line and was therefore directly descended from the first Lord. The ruling monarch at Ayodhya at this time was Jitasatru and his queen was Vijayadevi. The king had a brother, Sumitra (Vasumitra) whose wife was Yasomati. By a striking coincidence, both Vijayadevi and Yasomati dreamt the same fourteen dreams, as is usual with a would-be TIRTHANKARA's mother. The seers were called in. As per their perdiction, the former would give birth to a TIRTHANKARA and the latter to a CHAKRAVARTI-monarch.
RISHABHADEVA (ADINATHA)
श्री आदिनाथ भगवान्
The first tirthankara of the Jainas, Rishabha, is not only the founder of the Jain four-fold order, but is also the originator of the social organisation, the first lord of the earth and also the first to renounce the world to embrace and indicate the spiritual path.
