## The Adi Purana Composed by Shri Jinaseanacharya
**First Chapter**
Salutations to the glorious one, who has attained the kingdom of all knowledge, who is the upholder of the Dharmachakra, the lord of the three worlds, and the destroyer of the fear of the world, which is in the form of five transformations.
**Special Note:** All the adjectives in this verse are themselves the subject, not the object. This proves that the one in whom these adjectives are found is the one worthy of worship. These adjectives are found in the Arhant Devas, therefore, they are being saluted here. Alternatively, the word "Shrime" is the subject. One of the thousand and eight names of Shri Rishabhdeva is also "Shrime," as will be mentioned later in this text: "Shriman Swayambhuvrishhabha" etc. Therefore, the hero of this story, Shri Bhagwan Rishabhdeva, is being saluted here.
The commentator has explained this verse in various ways:
1. Salutations to the glorious one who is the first Tirthankara. Om Namo Vakragrivacharyaya Shri Kundakunda Swamine.
2. This is the beginning of the great story of the three and sixty-six lakh Purusha Charitra, which is composed by the great poet Shri Jinasean Muni Indra, who is adorned with the crown of the great king Amoghvarsha Maharaj, and whose feet are adorned with the moon-like nails of the great king Amoghvarsha Maharaj.
