Jain shastraon me “Avasarpini” ke antargat Vasudeva yadvansh ke rajaon ki line hoti hai. Par pratham Vasudev ka varn (rang) Jain texts me spasht roop se nahi diya gaya hai. Isliye is par Digambar aur Śvetāmbara dono traditions me bhi ek nishchit varn ki jankari uplabdh nahi hai.

Kuch paramparaon me Krishna ko Vasudeva ki ek antim (ninth) ya ek prasiddh Vasudeva mana jata hai, lekin pehle Vasudev ka rang iska evidence nahi milta ki woh kis rang ka tha. Isliye spast arth ke liye kisi ek vyakhya par atakna theek nahi hoga; dono traditionon ke madhya kuch antar ho sakta hai, aur pramukh srot me is vishay par nishchit varn likha nahi milta.

Aap chahein to main is vishay par Digambar aur Śvetāmbara ke vishesh granthon ki samanya arth ki tulna karke aasan shabdon me aur spasht kar sakta hoon.
