21. Bahubali, also known as Gommateshvara in the Southern Jaina Customs, was the second son of Jina Rishabha born to his second queen Sunanda. His stepbrother Bharata became Chakravarti, Succeeding his father. According to law of disc- weapon [charka], Bharata had the need to subdue Bahubali and his 98 brothers. Except Bahubali, all his brothers surrendered their domains and became recluses. A fierce duel took place between Bharata and Bahubali for trial of strength, in which the latter almost emerged as a victor. As at the final moment of his triumph, he was enlightened about the futility of worldly possessions; he consequently renounced the world for attaining omniscience and hence salvation from the cycle of existences. As an ascetic, he performed very rigorous austerities by standing in the kayotsarga posture for a whole year and then attained kevala-jnana.
