    Lord mahaveera sister Sudarshana children

    9 months ago 62

    Sudarśana is spoken of as Mahavira’s elder sister in Jain tradition. According to many Śvetāmbara accounts, Sudarśana had a son named Jamali. In those same Śvetāmbara narratives, Jamali became the husband of Mahavira’s daughter Priyadarshana (also called Anojja).

    In contrast, the Digambara tradition holds that Mahavira was celibate and did not marry or have children.

    Note: Names and details can vary between Digambara and Śvetāmbara sources, but Sudarśana is consistently listed as Mahavira’s sister, with Jamali as her son in some texts.
