Jain dharma ki parampara mein “Shernik” ya “Shrenik” naam ka koi Tirthankar ( thirthnakar ) ya unke naam ka pratham karm aisa prachlit vivaran prachlit nahi hai. 24 Tirthankaron ke naiṁ nām-vivaran prachlit hain aur unmein koi is tarah ka Maharajah Shernik ke roop ki sthaapna nahi milti.

Lekin kuch Tirthankaron zindagi ke pehle raja ya chakravarti ke roop mein jeevan bitā kar ke renunciation ki aur jina (keval-jnan) ki or chale gaye the. Udaharan ke taur par Rishabhanath (Adinath) ek chakravarti raja the. Is tarah ke sandarbh Jain granthon mein milte hain ki kaise raja-samrajya chhod kar moksha ki ore badhe.

Aap kis vyakti ya naam ki baat kar rahe hain, ya shayad spellings ki koi galti ho sakti hai, iski spashtta de dein to main us Tirthankar ke bare mein Jain dharm ki sahi arthya (arth) aur mukhya kathayein, Digambar aur Shwetambar dono paramparao ke antar ko dhyan me rakhte hue samjha sakta/ sakti hoon.
