To end the Chakra (cycles) of rebirths he gave up all his accomplish- ment and as a Renunciate became a Mahavrati and efforted with dare for self reservation.

This sign on the Dias of a Jina image appears to be an endless knot solved/opened by the seated Jina. If it were a tortoise the image could be of the 20th Tirthankara Muni Suvratnath. But it is not like a tortoise resembling the knot of a seal of Fairservis.

This itched sign is in the place of the Lanchhan of the Jina but unrecognizable for it's type. On close observation it resembles with two Indus signs one inside the U other being covered with two flat lines. It could be ignorantly mistaken as a coiled snake but the Jina is known neither as (7th) Suparsvanatha nor (23rd) Parsvanatha instead the sixteenth Jina Santinatha. A later inscriptions seems to have been itched as Prashasti.
