    I want story of Tetliputra according to shwetambar tradition

    8 months ago 151

    I am not fully sure which Jain personality you mean by “Tetliputra”, so I should not guess and give you a wrong story.

    In the Śvetāmbara tradition, there are a few names that sound somewhat similar:

    1. Gośāla Maṅkhaliputta (Gosāla Maṅkhaliputra)

    - Famous non‑Jain ascetic (Ājīvika) who, according to Jain scriptures like Bhagavatī Sūtra, lived for some years with Bhagwān Mahāvīr as a co‑ascetic and then separated. - In Prakrit he is called Gosāla Maṅkhaliputta (गोसल मंखलिपुत्त). - Some people, by mistake, distort the name when pronouncing.

    1. Sthūlabhadra / Sthūliputra

    - A very important Śvetāmbara ācārya, disciple of Samprati’s time line, associated with preservation of the Āgamas. - Sometimes people mispronounce his name in local dialects.

    Because “Tetliputra” does not exactly match any standard name from Śvetāmbara Jain scriptures that I can confidently identify, I would need the correct or alternative form of the name (for example: “Is this Gosāla Maṅkhaliputta or Sthūlabhadra?”) or some small hint (such as “disciple of Mahāvīr”, “monk in Mahāvrata”, etc.) to be certain.

    Once the exact name is clarified, I can narrate the story according to Śvetāmbara Jain tradition in a simple and authentic way.
