Answer

In Jain tradition, Jain Dharma is considered anādi — beginningless and eternal. So from a Jain spiritual view, it is not seen as something that started later than the Vedas.

Explanation

Jain philosophy does not frame truth as “founded” at a particular historical moment. It teaches that:

• Jeev, karma, moksha, and dharma are eternal truths
• The teachings of the Tirthankars are the timeless revelation of this eternal truth
• Therefore, Jain Dharma is understood as sanatan in its own way — beginningless

Spiritual Understanding

So, if you are asking within Jain belief, the answer is:

• Jain Dharma is eternal
• It is not described as a religion that came after or before another religion in a simple historical sequence

Takeaway

If you mean historically, that is a different academic question. But from Jain Dharma’s own view, Jainism is beginningless and eternal.
