Lord Mahavira abhiggaham abhiganhai; no khalu me kappai ammap.uhim jivamtehim.... agârâo anagåriyam pavvaittae. KS: $91.... According to the canonical tradition, the name Mahavira was given to Vardhamana by the gods in recognition of the fortitude and steadfastness with which he performed austerities: bhimabhayabheravam urålam acelayam parisaham sahai tti kattu devehim se namam kayam samane bhagavam Mahavire. AS: $998. A later tradition suggests that they gave him this name when, as a baby, he caused Mount Meru to tremble by pressing it with his toe: akampio va jenam Meru amgutthaena lilae/ teneha Mahaviro namam si kayam surindehim//Paumacariya:ii, 26. Prakrit Nayaputta (or Nataputta): tenam kalenam ... samane bhagavam Mahavire Nayaputte Nayakulánivvatte ... AS: $1002. It is identical with the Pali Nataputta. See Malalasekera 1938: II. 61-65. samanassa bhagavao Mahavirassa ammapiyaro Pasavaccijja samanovasaga yavi hottha. AS: $1002. For an account of the legends surrounding Parsva, see Jacobi 1884: 271-275: Bloomfield 1919; B. D. Jain 1925; Zimmer 1951: 181-204. idha, mahârâja, Nigantho Nataputto catuyamasamvarasamvuto hoti. Dighanikâya: 1,57 (Sâmaññaphala-sutta). See Jacobi 1880: also n. 32 below. Jacobi seems to have been the first scholar to recognize this fact: 'The Nirgranthas are frequently mentioned by the Buddhists, even in the oldest part of the Pitakas. But I have not yet met with a distinct mention of the Buddhas in any of the old Jaina Sutras, though they contain lengthy legends about Jamali, Gosala and other heterodox teachers. As this is just the reverse position to that which both sects mutually occupy in all aftertimes, and as it is inconsistent with our assumption of a contemporaneous origin of both creeds, we are driven to the conclusion that the Nirgranthas were not a newly founded sect of Buddha's time. This seems to have been the opinion of the Pitakas too; for we find no indication of the contrary in them." Jacobi 1880: 161. smanassa bhagavao Mahâvîrassa bhajja Jasoya gottenam Kodinna, dhuya Kasavagottenam, tise nam do namadhejja evam ahijjamti: Anojja i va Piyadamsana i va. AS: $1001. lokante bhavah laukântikâh te sarve paritasamsårâh, tatascyutå ekam garbhavasam prapya parinirvasyanti. SS: $489. jaya jaya namda! jaya jaya bhadda! bhaddam te jaya jaya khattiya varavasaha! bujjhahi bhagavam loganaha! pavattehi dhammatittham ... KS: $110. vastrabharanamalyani svayam sakrah samadade/ muktany etani putani matva mahatmyam idrsam// UP: xlvii, 305. ... aharanamallalamkaram omuitta sayameva pamcamutthiyam loyam karei .. chattheam bhattenam apanaenam ... egam devadûsam adaya ege abie munde bhavitta agarao anagariyam pavvaie. KS: $114. The deva-dusya would appear to be a finely woven piece of cloth thrown over the shoulders: konialam dhavalam suksmam sylltam canarakarair iva/ devadusyam devarajah skandhadese nyadhad vibhoh// TSPC: I. iii. 64.
