bhadra, op. cit. 43. C. Winternitz. History of Indian Literature, II, p. 487. 44. Jaina Agamas often refer to festivals and shrines of
Indra, Rudri, Skanda, Mukunda, Vasudeva, Nága. Yakşa and others, apparently as beyond the sphere of Jaina worship, but widely current amongst the masses, and the references show their existence probably as early as the age of Mahavira, see Jain, J.C., op. cit., pp. 215-225. Also see Benjamin Presiado-Solis, The
Jaina-Rupa-Mandana Krsna Cycle in the Puranas (Delhi, 1984), chps. 1 and 2.
pp. 1-39. 45. Conversely, later on, when the Hindu Puranas were
recast, Rşabha, the first Jaina Tirthankara, was given a place in the Vaisnava cult as one of the twenty-four incarnations of Vişnu. The Bhagavata Purana reference to Rsabha perhaps shows the spirit of synthesis and assimilation of the Hindu Puranas, or. an ancient Indian deity or sage Rsabha was adopted and assimilated by the Brahmanical faith as well as by Jainas in their Puranas. Rşabha is referred to in Bhagavara, V.3. 20: 4.2; V.4.9, as also in Brahmanda Purana, Purva II.14; Vişnu Purana, 11.1.27-32; Vayu Pu., 31.50-52: Märkarde ya Pu., 50.39-41, Nrsimha Pu., 30.7, Śiva Pu., VII.9.3 etc. However, B.N. Sharma's attempt to prove hoary antiquity of Jaina Rsabha, in his Intro. to the second ed. of B.C. Bhattacharya's Jaina Iconography with the help of Rgvedic passages where the word Rsabha occurs,
is not convincing. 46. Samarāyanga, sū. 159, pp. 153ff. Also, Trişasti I (GOS).

of Haribhadra, shows that Baladevas fought with the plough and the pestle only: hohinti Vasudeva nava anne nilapiakosija, halamusalacakkajohi sarala-garula-jjhaya... Avasyaka Bhasya, verse 39. Also see Abhidhana Cintamani, 2.138f. Also see Samaväyänga sätra, sü158
