There is tradition also that the Jina’s mother performed many acts of religion while bearing him in the womb. Hence the name of the child as ¶Ù³ó²¹°ù³¾²¹²ÔÄå³Ù³ó²¹.
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra1a) Suvrata (सà¥à¤µà¥à¤°à¤¤) or Munisuvrata refers to the twentieth of the twenty-four TÄ«rthaá¹…karas praised in the first book (Äå»åīś±¹²¹°ù²¹-³¦²¹°ù¾±³Ù°ù²¹) [chapter 1] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triá¹£aá¹£á¹iÅ›alÄåkÄåpuruá¹£acaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Suvrata is the son of PadmÄå and Sumitra, according to chapter 1.6, “[...] In Bharata there will be twenty-three other Arhats and eleven other Cakrins. [...] The son of PadmÄå and Sumitra, Suvrata, in RÄåjagá¹›ha, black, aged thirty thousand years, twenty bows tall, will have the vow for seven thousand five hundred years, and the interval between Jinas will be fifty-four lacs of yearsâ€�.
1b) Suvrata (सà¥à¤µà¥à¤°à¤¤) is the name of an ancient Ä€cÄårya, according to chapter 4.3 [±¹¾±³¾²¹±ô²¹²ÔÄå³Ù³ó²¹-³¦²¹°ù¾±³Ù°ù²¹].—Accordingly:—“Now in this JambÅ«dvÄ«pa in the East Videhas in the city Ä€nandakarÄ«, there was a king, Nandisumitra. [...] One day, he abandoned the kingdom already abandoned in mind and became a mendicant under Ä€cÄårya Suvrata. Observing many private vows, practicing penance hard to perform, he fasted, died, and became a god in Anuttara. [...]â€�.
1c) Suvrata (सà¥à¤µà¥à¤°à¤¤) is the son of Munisuvrata and PrabhÄåvatÄ«, according to chapter 6.7 [Å›°ùÄ«-³¾³Ü²Ô¾±²õ³Ü±¹°ù²¹³Ù²¹²ÔÄå³Ù³ó²¹-³¦²¹°ù¾±³Ù°ù²¹].—Accordingly:—â€� [...] Though his soul was purified by the three kinds of knowledge, pretending lack of knowledge to the people by childish play, the Lord gradually grew up. When he had become a young man, twenty bows tall, he married princesses, PrabhÄåvatÄ«, and others. Then Queen PrabhÄåvatÄ« bore a son, named Suvrata, to Lord Munisuvrata, like the east the moon. When seven and a half thousand years had passed, the Lord assumed the burden of the kingdom imposed by his fatherâ€�.
2a) ³§³Ü±¹°ù²¹³ÙÄå (सà¥à¤µà¥à¤°à¤¤à¤�) is the wife of king king BhÄånu from Ratnapura, according to chapter 4.5 [dharmanÄåtha-caritra].—Accordingly:—“BhÄånu’s wife was named ³§³Ü±¹°ù²¹³ÙÄå, an unusually virtuous wife, excelling the bees in attendance on his lotus-feet. Surely her low speech had been taught by the cuckoos, her skill in walking by the haṃsas, her glances by the deer. Modesty was her companion, a wealth of good conduct her maid, good-breeding her chamberlain. This was her natural retinue. [...] At that time Dá¹›á¸haratha’s soul, living in Vaijayanta, immersed in pleasure, completed its maximum life-period. The soul fell on the seventh day of the bright half of RÄådha, the moon being in Puá¹£pa, and entered Lady ³§³Ü±¹°ù²¹³ÙÄå’s womb. [...]â€�.
2b) ³§³Ü±¹°ù²¹³ÙÄå (सà¥à¤µà¥à¤°à¤¤à¤�) is name of an ancient Nun, according to chapter 5.3 [Å›ÄåntinÄåtha-caritra].—Accordingly, as king VajrÄåyudha said to the VidyÄådhara Pavanavega:—“[...] Queen Prabhaá¹…karÄå, upright and fair by nature, practiced the moon-penance at the side of the nun ³§³Ü±¹°ù²¹³ÙÄå. As the fruit of that penance, even without right-belief, et cetera, after death she became your daughter ÅšÄåntimatÄ«. Datta’s soul became the VidyÄådhara, Ajitasena, and he kidnaped her because of his former love. [...]â€�.

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.
