Jainism ke anusar, Bharat Raja ka ullekh prachin Jain sahityon mein milta hai. "Ha sthiti" (या "ह-स्‍थिति") ka sambandh karma siddhant se hai, jismein ek jeev kitne samay tak ek vishesh gati mein ya ek vishesh avastha mein reh sakta hai. Aapke prashn mein, "Bharat Raja ne kitne hathiye (hathiyon) ke sath ansan kiya," iska sambandh Jain kathaon se hai.

Jain sahitya ke anusar, Bharat Chakravarti (Rishabhdev ke putra) ne apne jeevan ke antim samay mein sadhana ki aur unhone anshan (upvas) kiya. Jain kathayen batati hain ki unhone apne antim samay mein ek sthan par anek hathi, ghode, sainik adi ke sath apni rajsi vasthon ka tyaag kar diya tha. Lekin, vishesh roop se "hathiyon ki sankhya" ka ullekh pramukh Jain granthon — jaise Adipurana, Trishashtishalaka Purusha Charitra, ya Kalpasutra — mein nahi milta.

Haan, Bharat Raja ke saath 98,000 rath, 960,000 hathi, 1,700,000 ghode, 10,000,000 padati sainik (pyaade) ka tyaag karne ka ullekh aata hai, jo unke rajsuya yagna aur tyaag se sambandhit hai.

Anshan ke samay, Bharat Raja akela hi sadhana mein lipt the, hathiyon ke sath anshan karne ka vishesh ullekh Jain sahityon mein nahi milta.

Saaransh: Bharat Raja ne apne rajsi saamagri jaise hathi, ghode, rath, sainik adi ka tyaag zarur kiya tha, lekin unhone hathiyon ke sath anshan kiya, iska vishesh ullekh Jain granthon mein nahi milta. Anshan (upvas) unhone apne aap ki mukti ke liye kiya tha.
