The Doctrine of the Jainas, Described after the Old Sources c6.64

c6.64

Vaddhamāṇa married Jasoyā, a Kauṇḍinyī³, with whom he had a daughter bearing the name of Aṇojjā or Piyadamsaṇā. She later became the mother of a girl. Her husband is not referred to in the two biographies, but we know⁴, if not from Viy. 461a ff. so from the Āvassaya tradition, that his name was Jamāli. His name was suppressed since it was with his son-in-law (who is said to have been also his nephew from the side of sister) that Mahāvīra went through the trying experience of disobedience and heresy which came to be the "first heresy"⁵ in the history of the Jain church. Since his grand daughter is called a Kauśiki, the khattiya-kumāra Jamāli must have been a Kauśika as well.
