Names of indrasabha
In Jainism, Indrasabha refers to the heavenly assembly or court of Indra, the king of celestial beings (devas). In the context of Jain iconography, especially in cave temples and ancient art, the "Indrasabha" is also the name given to certain grand halls or caves, such as the famous Indrasabha cave at Ellora.
However, if you are asking about the names of the Indras (chiefs of heavenly assemblies) associated with important Jain events, such as the birth and consecration of Tirthankaras, Jain scriptures mention the following principal Indras out of the 64 Indras:
- Shakra (also known as Saudharmendra) – King of the first heaven (Saudharma); often plays the most significant role in Jain rituals and narratives.
- Yendra – Presides over the second heaven.
- Sanatkumara – King of the third heaven.
- Mahendra – King of the fourth heaven.
In several Jain rituals and literature, particularly during the Janma Kalyanaka (birth celebration) of a Tirthankara, 56 Dik Kumaras (attendants) and 64 Indras are mentioned, but the above are the principal ones who are most frequently named.
If you are referring to the symbolic representation in Jain art or literature, the Indrasabha (court of Indra) is depicted as a celestial assembly attended by these Indras and their consorts, celebrating the auspicious events in the life of a Tirthankara.
Summary of Names:
- Shakra (Saudharmendra)
- Yendra
- Sanatkumara
- Mahendra
For more elaborate lists, Jain scriptures like the Trishashti Shalaka Purusha Charitra enumerate all 64 Indras, but the above four are most prominent in common practice and depictions.
