Jainism is one of the oldest existing religions in the world, with some scholars tracing its origin to the pre-Vedic, Indus Valley Civilisation. Going by this view, Jainism’s birth is stated by some to preceed even Hinduism, making it world’s most antique religion. Followers of Jainism may be numerically small today, but they exert an influence which is far greater than their population. Tirthankara, (Sanskrit: “Ford-maker”) also called Jina (“Victor”), in Jainism, a saviour who has succeeded in crossing over life’s stream of rebirths and has made a path for others to follow. According to tradition, his predecessor, Parshvanatha, lived about 250 years earlier; the other Tirthankaras mentioned in the Jain scriptures cannot be considered historical figures. According to Jain belief, each cosmic age produces its own group of 24 Tirthankaras, the first of whom—if it is an age of descending purity—are giants, but they decrease in stature and appear after shorter intervals of time as the age proceeds. In art the Tirthankara is represented either standing stiffly in the pose known as kayotsarga (“dismissing the body”) or seated cross-legged on a lion throne in the posture of meditation, dhyanamudra.The 24 Tirthankaras have taken birth over last several thousands of years and taught the law of Dharma (Righteousness). Here are the names of 24 Tirthankaras in order.Rishabhanatha(Adinatha)/Ajitanatha/Sambhavanatha/Abhinandananatha/Sumatinatha/Padmaprabha/Suparshvanatha/Chandraprabha/Pushpadanta/Shitalanatha/Shreyanasanatha/Vasupujya/Vimalanatha/Anantanatha/Dharmanatha/Shantinatha/Kunthunatha/Aranatha/MÄllÄ«nÄtha/Munisuvrata/Naminatha/Neminatha/Parshvanatha/Mahavira Pallava dynasty, early 4th-century to late 9th-century CE line of rulers in southern India whose members originated as indigenous subordinates of the Satavahanas in the Deccan, moved into Andhra, and then to Kanci (Kanchipuram in modern Tamil Nadu state, India), where they became rulers. Their genealogy and chronology are highly disputed. The first group of Pallavas was mentioned in Prakrit (a simple and popular form of Sanskrit) records, which tell of King Vishnugopa, who was defeated and then liberated by Samudra Gupta, the emperor of Magadha, about the middle of the 4th century CE.
