Bharat Chakravarti
Bharat, the eldest son of the first Tirthankar, Bhagavan Rishabh Dev, was the first chakravarti emperor of this Avasarpini or the current regressive cycle of time. To annex the kingdoms of his ninety eight brothers and to fight with Bahubali was his Helplessness. He lead a life of a saintly king who moved from pleasures to abstention, violence to ahimsa, and euphoria of sovereignty to self discipline. The Jain tradition believes him to be a saintly king who attained omniscience in his glass palace after enjoying the lofty mundane status of chakravarti. According to the Jain narrative literature and Bhagavat Purana this subcontinent was named Bharat-kshetra (Bharat-varsh) after Rishabh’s son Bharat.
