The ‘Bahubali’ of a thousand years ago
Almost 1200 years ago, in the 9th century, a Digambara monk named Jinsen composed an extraordinary epic. His work, known as the Adi Purana, was based on the life of the first Jain Tirthankara, Rishabhanatha, and the stories of his two sons, Bharat and Bahubali. This was not an ordinary tale; it was a remarkable saga of conquering pride and attaining spiritual liberation. In it, we witness the journey of a warrior who becomes a supreme sage.
