Examples of "nyagrodha"
Rishabhanatha is associated with his Bull emblem, the
Nyagrodha
tree, Gomukha (bull-faced) Yaksha, and Chakreshvari Yakshi.
In rituals, the "
nyagrodha
" ("Ficus indica" or India fig or banyan tree) "danda", or staff, is assigned to the kshatriya class, along with a mantra, intended to impart physical vitality or 'ojas'.
The banyan tree ("Ficus benghalensis"), also called "
Nyagrodha
" tree, which grows throughout the country is referred to as Kalpavriksha or Kaplaptaru because of its ability to amply provide for human needs.
Worship of the "
Nyagrodha
tree" as a form of non-human worship is depicted in a Buddhist sculpture at Besnagar. This sculpture in Besnagar, also known as Vidisa (Bhilsa), is dated to third century BC and is exhibited in the Calcutta Museum.
Rishabhanatha also ', Rishabhadeva, or ' is the first "Tirthankara" (Teaching God) of the present half cycle of time in Jainism. The word "Tīrthankara" signifies the founder of a "tirtha" which means a fordable passage across a sea. The "Tirthankara" shows the 'fordable path' across the sea of interminable births and deaths ("saṃsāra"). Rishabhanatha is also known as Ādinātha which translates into "First ("Adi") Lord ("nātha")". He was born to King Nabhi and Queen Marudevi in Ayodhya. He is associated with his Bull emblem, the
Nyagrodha
tree, Gomukha (bull-faced) Yaksha, and Chakreshvari Yakshi. He had two wives, Sunanda and Sumangala. Sumangala was the mother of ninety-nine sons (including Bharata) and one daughter, Brahmi. Sunanda was the mother of Bahubali and Sundari. The sudden fatal death of Nilanjana, one of the dancers of Indra, reminded him of the world's transitory nature and he developed a desire for renunciation. After being initiated as a "Digambara monk", he is said to have wandered without food for a whole year. The day on which he got his first "ahara" (food), is celebrated as "Akshaya Tritiya" by Jains. He is said to have attained "Moksha" from Mount Kailash. "Adi Purana" contains the information over legends related to Rishabhanatha. His colossal statues include Statue of Ahimsa, Bawangaja and those erected in Gopachal hill.
