Many authors have remained contented by introducing Trishala as the sister of Chetaka, the ruler of the state of Videha. The problem of Trishala can be solved if the names of the parentsis of Chetaka come to light. Nothing more is known about Devananda, the first mother. Details about Yashoda the wife of Bhagavan Mahavira are also still in the dark. Bhagavan Mahavira had only one daughter, one brother and one sister. • The daughter of Bhagavan Mahavira was also bearing a third name Jyeshthali. • Devananda and Rishabhadatta, the first parents of Bhagavan Mahavira got redemption in the same life by doing penace after being initiated by Bhagavan Mahavira. • As Trishala hailed from the state of Videha she was also known as Videhadinnals as well as Vishalali • It is a known fact that Yashoda was the daughter of the chieftain Samaravira of Vasantapura-while she has been described as the daughter of the Kshatriya King of Malava in the text Danadikulaka written by Davendrasuri but the name of the King and the city are anonymous. • A town is known as 'Gam' in Prakrit and 'Gram' in Sanskrit. 13.
