COMPASSIONATE BHAGAVAN MAHAVIR
Completing its age as a god this being descended into the womb of queen 18 Mrigawati, the wife of king Prajapati of Potanpur. The queen saw seven
auspicious dreams, an indication that the child to be born would be a Vasudev.
In due course the queen gave birth to a brilliant child. It had three lines on its back, as such, it was named Triprishtha.

As a result of extraordinary penance during the earlier life Triprishtha grew to be a highly valorous, courageous, and charismatic prince.
During that period a Prati-vasudev (antiVasudev) king, Ashvagriva, ruled over Ratnapur. He was conquering the neighbouring countries. He had already brought the three zones of Bharat area under his rule.
