ղ岵ṃh (व्याघ्रसिं�) is the name of an ancient king from Cakrapura, according to chapter 6.1 [ܲԳٳܲ峾-ٰ] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly:—“[...] The Lord (i.e., Kunthu) got out of the palanquin, abandoned his ornaments, etc., and became a mendicant together with a thousand kings, while observing a two-day fast, on the fifth day of the black half of Vaiśākha in the afternoon, (the moon being) in the Kṛttikās. He attained the fourth knowledge called ‘mind-reading.� On the next day the Master broke his fast with rice-pudding in the house of King ղ岵ṃh in the city Cakrapura. The five things, the stream of treasure, et cetera, were made there by the gods; but a platform of jewels was made by Vyāghrasiñha on the place of the Lord’s feet�.

context information

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.
