Bhagwan Rishabhdev spread religion for the first time on the earth. In addition to religion, he was the first to give training for agriculture, trade, art, sculpture, politics and government to people. He was the first King of the world, first Shraman (Sanyasi or ascetic) and the first Tirthankar also. That’s why he is known as Adinath or “First Tirthankar”. The eldest son of Rishabhdev, Bharat, became the first Chakravarty Samrat. On his name our country became popular as Bharatvarsh. For the development of human society, he inspired man for hard work and then also showed the path of retirement for inner peace. After establishing the social administration system and government, he accepted the path of renouncement and set a great example of balance between luxuries and detachment. We have presented this biography of Bhagwan Rishabhdev based on the ancient Jain religious books Adi Puran and Trishashti Shalaka Purush.
