v7.c91.271

¹⁶²⁵ Ṛṣabha, son of Nābhi, appears to be the first tīrthaṅkara of the Jainas and was probably raised to the status of an incarnation of Viṣṇu as Buddha was raised. In भागवत I. 3 24 बुद्ध is referred to as follows : ततः कलौ संप्रवृत्ते संमोहाय सुरद्विपाम् । बुद्धो नाम्नाऽञ्जनसुतः कीकटेषु भविष्यति ॥; नमो बुद्धाय शुद्धाय दैत्यदानवमोहिने । भागवत X. 40. 22.
