Accordingly:—“[...] In the city PÄtÄlalaá¹…kÄ sons were borne to SukeÅ›a by IndrÄṇī—MÄlin, SumÄlin, and MÄlyavat. Two long-armed sons, named Ä€dityarajas and Ṛká¹£arajas, were borne to Kiá¹£kindhi by ÅšrÄ«mÄlÄ.

When he had grown up, one day RatnaÅ›ravas went to a charming flower-garden for the purpose of acquiring vidyÄs.

She had been brought up by her father after her mother died when she was born. Kanakaratha and ṚṣidattÄ lived together in the forest for some time.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
