English: Adinath is first in the series of twenty-four Jain
tirthankaras, or saviors. His name means "Lord First," because he was the first to preach the Jain religion. He is also called
Risabhanatha, "Lord Bull," after a bull which appeared
to his future mother in a dream.
As a legendary figure, Adinath is credited with
teaching mankind the arts of civilization, including pottery,
weaving, and writing. He is associated with Rama through
his birthplace, the city of Ayodhya, and he attained
moksha (enlightenment, liberation) on Mt. Kailasa,
the home of Shiva.
