Jambu Swami ki umr ke do mukhya roop prachlit hain:

• Digambar/Shwetambar dono ki kuch paramparao me ek roop: Mahavir ke Nirvana ke samay Jambu Swami ki umr bahut chhoti thi — kai varnano me kaha gaya ki woh 16 varsh ke the. Is opinion ko JainKnowledge ki ek prashnottar me istemal kiya gaya hai. Dhyan de: is roop ki saakshikta par digambar-shwetambar me antar hota hai. ( jainknowledge.com)

• Dusri parampara (kayi Shwetambar sources me bhi samanya): Jambu Swami ki antim vriddhi umr 80-84 varsh ke aas-paas mani jati hai, aur Mahavir ke Nirvana ke baad unhone 38-64 varsh tak dharma ka prasaran kiya. Is umr ko kai itihasik lekhan ya patra-pattimon me pakka kiya gaya hai. Dharmic pravachan me is roop ko adhik vistrit roop me maana jata hai. (Is peaver ki jankari par alag-alag granthon me thoda-phool antar hota hai; Digambar-Shwetambar dono me is ki alag vyakhya milti hai.) ( jainworld.jainworld.com)

Saar yeh hai:

• Mahavir ke nirvana ke samay Jambu Swami ki umr par do mukhya vyakhyaen hain: bahut chhoti (lagbhag 16 varsh) ya prachin kaal ke anusar lagbhag 80-84 varsh. Dharmik parampara ke hisaab se dono hi sahi maana ja sakta hai, lekin Digambar aur Shwetambar me is par alag vyakhya milti hai.
