Trishla, the sister of president Chetak of Vaishali, was married to Siddharth; she was also known as Videhdinna and Priyakarini, Chetak's elder son Simhabhadra (commander Simha) was the commander-in-chief of the army of the Vajji republic.
Maharaj Chetak had seven daughters 1. Chelana-Queen of king Bimbsar Shrenik of Magadh. 2. Shiva Queen of king Chandapradyot of Avanti. 3. Mrigavati-Queen of king Shatanik of Kaushambi.

Ajatshatru (Kunik), the famous warrior character in Jain and Bucidhist literature, and king Udayan of Vats were own grandsons of Maharaj Chetak. Dreams : The Premonition
One night mother Trishla is sleeping in her soft and cozy bed. Suddenly she dreams of auspicious things and gets up. She is filled with an hitherto unexperienced joy and ecstasy. (M-5) -
She leaves the bed, sits on a chair and contemplates, “So many divine and auspicious things together in my dream. I had such astonishing dream for the first time in my life, what does this indicate, indeed some benefits in the near future ?” She goes to king Siddharth and tells him about the dreams.
King Siddharth beams with joy and says, “Devi ! Your dreams are bounteous. We will gain wealth, pleasures, happiness, and a son. We shall also have territorial gains. The interpretation of these dreams indicates that the son born to you will be the embodiment of the combined virtues of ali the virtuous things and signs existing on this earth. (In scriptures like Acharang and Kalpasutra, it is mentioned that the descent of the soul that was to be Mahavir was originally into the womb of Devananda Brahmani. The foetus was then transplanted into the womb of Trishla Kshatriyani by god Harinaigameshi under instructions from Shakrendra.)
After their morning chores, Maharaj Siddharth and Devi Trishla came and took their seats in the assembly hall. His younger brother Suparshva, his wife and other members of the royal family also took their seats nearby.
