Question

Answer the following in short
1) Who was called Jina?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Tirthankara, (Sanskrit: “Ford-maker”) also called Jina (“Victor”), in Jainism, a saviour who has succeeded in crossing over life's stream of rebirths and has made a path for others to follow. Mahavira (6th century bce) was the last Tirthankara to appear.

Answer 2

Answer:

At the age of 30, Mahavira renounced worldly life

and became an ascetic. For the next 12 years, he

led a life of penance and meditation. He was

credited to have conquered his desires and thus

came to be known as ‘Jina' or the conqueror. His

followers thus came to be known as Jinas or the

Jains.
