Sadarmik ko bhojan karvane ke pashchat hi swayam bhojan karne ka vrat dharan karne wale Raja ka naam Raja Shrenik tha (jinhen Bimbisaar bhi kaha jata hai)। Raja Shrenik ne Bhagwan Mahavir ke updesh se prerit hokar yah vrat dharan kiya tha ki ve hamesha pehle sadarmik (sadhu-sadhvi, shravak-shravika ya kisi bhi bhookhe ko) ko bhojan karvayenge, uske baad swayam bhojan karenge। Yah unki bhakti aur daya-bhaav ka praman hai, jo Jain dharm ke mool siddhanton—ahimsa, karuna aur aparigrah—ke anukul hai।
