The name of the Ashoka occurs only in copies of Minor rock edicts I found at three places in Karnataka and at three Places in Karnataka and at one in Madhya Pradesh. All the other inscriptions mention only ‘Devanampiya Piyadasi’, Beloved of God.
• Jains trace their history through a succession of twenty-four Tirthankaras. The first Tirthankara was Rishabhanatha, who according to Jain tradition lived millions of years ago. The twenty-third Tirthankara was Parshvanatha and the twenty-fourth tirthankara was Mahāvīra.
• Followers of Mahavira, who were known as Jainas, had to lead very simple lives, begging for food. They had to be absolutely honest, and were especially asked not to steal. Also, they had to observe celibacy and men had to give up everything, including their clothes. It was very difficult for most men and women to follow these strict rules. Jainism was supported mainly by traders. Farmers, who had to kill insects to protect their crops, found it more difficult to follow the rules.
• Digambaras and Śvētāmbaras are two major sub traditions of Jainism. Digambara monks do not wear any clothes. The Śvētāmbara monks wear white clothes.
