श्रेणिक बिम्बसार - Sre nika BimbasāraŚrenika Bimbas āra is the first Indian monarch of whom anything substantial is known. When he came to the throne of Magadha, his rule extended over only a small state, with his capital at Rajagraha. But with remarkable prudence he set himself to extend his kingdom. He formed alliance with his powerful border kings of Kosala and Vajji and then led his troops to absorb the kingdom of Anga. With the annexation of An ga, Magadha became a great power in northern India. So much so that the king of distant Gāndhāra (modern Kandhāra) sent an embassy to Bimbas āra. Śrenika Bimbas āra senta contingent of his troops to help a border king, who was his ally. The young general who led this army was the merchant prince Jambu Kumara, who after returning triumphantly from this compaign adopted the life of a Jaina monk.
Śreņika Bimbas āra was a powerful king and just king whose reign lasted for 28 years. The efficiency of his civil and Military administration was the main reason for the ascendancy of Magadhan power. He maintained a rigid control over his officers and to ascertain the internal affairs of his kingdom. He used to meet the headmen of all villages.
Śrenika Bimbas āra was a convert from Buddhism to Jainism. This conversion was due to his Chief queen Celana, the accomplished daughter of king Cetaka of Vaisāli. The literary and Legendry
traditions of Jainas describe him as putting a very large number of questions about the universe, the present, past and future, Atmā and Parmātmā and what not, and lord Mahavira replying to those questions. The tradition runs that he built many shrines on Parasnatha hill in Bihar. Jainas believe that Śreņika Bimbas āra will be a Tirthamkara in the next cycle of time.
