BHAGAVAN SHRI GAUTAMA SWAMI. Indrabhūti Gautama yayfa staa better known as Gautama Swami from his gotra, was the first Ganadhara TUNT or principal disciple of Sramana Bhagavān Mahāvira. He was born in the year 607 B, C. at Gobara-gama itaTTA (Gobbra or Govaraya ) a small village near Rãjagriha TATE, the capital city of Magadha मगध. He was the eldest son of Vasubhuti वसुभूति, his mother's name was Prithivi test. He was a Brahmin by caste and was well versed in the four Vedas and the six Upãngas.
The soul of Indrąbhüti Gautama, was the charioteer of S'ramana Bhagavãn Mahavira, during his previous eighteenth Bhava as Triprishtha Vãsudeva, who, with sweet words, said to the dying lion “Olion you have crushed down intoxicated huge elephants in sport ( with the greatest ease ): 0 King of the beasts 1 you have terrified your enemies by yonr incomparable valour; O King of the forest ! you have defeated thousands of kings equipped with weapons and warriors, arranged methodically in a way that nothing can escape it; O good soul! why do you thus needlessly become angry? Do not think, that you have been killed by a mere child. He is the gladdener of his family and of his people like the moon in the vault of the sky.
Interpreters of dreams have also foretold “ This child will become a Väsudéva, a lord of half the territory of Bharata kshetra; O my good friend ! you are a lion among lower animals He is a lion among human beings. What disrespect or ill fame is there in a lion killing a lion?' Having thus become internally tranquil by peacefully hearing the honey-like or nectar-like words of the charioteer, the lion after death, was born as a Nãraka in hellish regions and the charioteer, in course of time, will become the first Ganadhara, named Gautama; of Syamana
