Aspects of Brahmanical Influence on the Jaina Mythology
Vabhu and Vışabhadhdaja in RPC Except for these real and superficial variations, RPC shows substantial agreement with Vimalasüni's genealogical account
The Hanvamsupurānes of Jinasena is the third Digar bara Purâna to have given this part of the pedigree Its account, however, keeps closer to RPC version than to VPC, and subject to some superficial variations in a few names, marked by Srtayasas, Balānka and Amsta of RPC which recur in JHV as Smitayasas, Bala and Amrtabala respectively, the list in the latter work is practically the same as that in the former
Among the Svetāmbaras, Sanghadāsa, Silānka and Hemacandra have given the pedigree of the Adriya branch in its first part, Of the above three authors the first and the lası10 have set out in all only eight immediate successors of king Bharala These successors were (1) Adulyaj aśas, (u) Mahāyasas, (11) Atibala, (10) Balabhadra, (v) Balavirja, (vi) Kirtidirya, (v1) Jaladirya, and (V111) Dandadirya Silānka, on the other hand, has given nine names and his list shows agreement with those of Sanghadāsa and Hemacandra with regard to only the first four names, the remaining five names being, to some extent, the variants of those occurring in the VH list Thus Bharata's immediate descendants, according to Srlänka's version, 11 were (1) Adityayasas (Ārccajas) (11) Mahāyaśas (Mahājasa), (11) Atzbala, (iv) Balabhadra (Balabhadda), (v) Tejoditya (Teyaviriya), (vi) JualanaDiriya (Jalanadiriya), (v1) Ambudirya (Ambuviriya), (vu:) Satyadirya) and (1x) Mahāvirya (Mahāvinja) Now, what emerges
