Nandishen ji ke baare me Jain granthon me jo varnan milta hai, uske do pramukh roop samajh sakte hain:

1. Nandishen – Rajkumar / Raja (Shrenik ke vansh me)

• Kuch Jain kathāon me Nandishen Shrenik raja (Magadh ke raja, Bhagwan Mahavir ke samakālīn) ke putra ke roop me milte hain.
• Ek prasiddh kahani me ek Jain sant punarjanm lekar Nandishen ke roop me janm lete hain, aur unke purvajanm ke ek brahman sant ka janm ek haathi (Sāchenak) ke roop me hota hai.
• Nandishen rājkumar bahut shant, dhārmik aur dayālu prakriti ke batāye gaye hain.
• Ve Jain dharm aur sādhuon ke prati shraddhāvān the, isliye pichhle janm se sambandhit haathi bhi unke saamne shaant ho jātā hai, use pehchān leta hai aur apne aap ko bandhva deta hai.
• Is prakar Nandishen ko ek dharm-parāyan, nītivān, aur karuṇāmay rājkumar ke roop me dikhāyā jātā hai.

Is viṣay par ek sambandhit lekh yahan mil sakta hai: “Favorism of Female Main Elephant”

2. Agar aap kisi aur “Nandishen” ke baare me pooch rahe hain

Jain paramparā me “Nandi”, “Nandīśvar”, “Nandishen” jaise shabd alag–alag sandarbh me aate hain (jaise dvīp, rājā, purvajanm ki kathā, ityādi).

Aapke prashn ke anusar, yahan jo varnan kiya, wo Shrenik ke putra Nandishen rājkumar ke sandarbh me hai – ve dhārmik, vinamra, sādhu-bhakt aur dayālu swabhāv ke the.
