The third chapter of the Trishatika Lakshana Mahapurana, titled "Pithikavarnana", describes the lineage of the Tirthankaras.
The text states that the first Tirthankara, Rishabhadeva, taught the importance of being the first to perform a pilgrimage, and established the tradition of looking at the face of one's child. Amichandra taught the importance of children playing with the moon, and that parents should live with their children for a short time. Marudeva taught that parents should live with their children for a long time. Prasenajit taught the importance of removing the umbilical cord, and Nabhiraj taught the importance of comforting the people. Nabhiraj also gave birth to Rishabhadeva.
The text then describes how the sage Gautama, the head of the Jain community, described the lineage of the Tirthankaras with great respect. This caused great joy for the entire assembly of monks, including King Shrenik.
The text then describes how the great Jain teacher, Jinaseanacharya, explained the six different types of time and the actions of the Tirthankaras. He then prepared to tell the story of the first Tirthankara, Adinath, and addressed King Shrenik, saying, "O Shrenik, listen."
This concludes the third chapter of the Trishatika Lakshana Mahapurana, titled "Pithikavarnana".
