Bharat Chakravarti ke 98 hathi ne anshan (fasting unto death, yani sallekhana) karke swarg gaye the. Jain dharm ke anusar, jab Bharat Chakravarti ne vairagya liya aur sallekhana ka vrat dharan kiya, tab unke 98 hathi bhi unke saath anshan par baith gaye aur unhone apna sharir tyag diya, jiske baad ve devlok (swarg) chale gaye.

Yeh prasang Bharat Chakravarti ke vairagya aur unke saathiyon ki bhakti ko darshata hai, jo Jain sahitya, vishesh roop se Adipurana adi granthon mein varnit hai.
