Jainism ke anusar, "700 Munirajon par upasarg ka nimitt" Maharaja Shrenik bane the. Shrenik Raja (jo Magadh desh ke raja the, aur jinhein Bimbisar bhi kaha jata hai) ne Bhagwan Mahavir Swami ke samay mein rajya kiya tha.

Ek prasiddh katha hai ki ek samay 700 Munirajon par kathin upasarg (kasht) aaya tha. Is upasarg ka nimitt Raja Shrenik bane the, jo un Munirajon ke shraddha aur tapasya ko parakhne ke liye tha. Yah upasarg unki purva janm ki karm bandhan ki wajah se tha, lekin is janm mein Raja Shrenik us upasarg ka nimitt bane.

Is prakar, 700 Munirajon par upasarg ka nimitt Raja Shrenik the.
