________________ A special adjective is applied to the Tirthankara - 'atijaat', which means 'superior than'. Here it means more superior than one's parents. The parents of a Tirthankara are not Tirthankaras. The mother of a Chakravarti also sees special dreams, but the parents are not Chakravartis. The mother of a Vasudeva sees seven special dreams, but the parents are not Vasudevas. Hence one of the messages of these dreams is that the offspring will be greater and superior to the parents. 59
