Tirthankara Mahāvira
hatthísu erāvanamāhu ņāe, sīho migāņaṁ salilāņa Gargā. pakkhisu vā garule veņudeve, nivvāņavādīņiha ņāyaputte.
Just as Airāvata is supreme among elephants, lion among animals, Ganga among rivers, Garuda – the son of Venudeva, among birds - similarly was Jñātaputra supreme among those preaching emancipation. (Sūtra. Sū. 1. 6. 21 )
