Answer

Adeshwar Dada, also known as Bhagwan Rishabhdev or Adinath Bhagwan, was born in an extremely ancient time according to Jain tradition.

Jain scriptures describe his birth in the era of the third Ara of the current Avasarpini Kaal, not in ordinary historical calendar years.

So, Jain tradition does not give a simple modern number like “X years ago” that can be precisely converted into today’s calendar.

Explanation

Bhagwan Rishabhdev is the 1st Tirthankar of the current time cycle. His lifespan, age, and era are described using Jain cosmological time units, which are vastly larger than ordinary human historical time.

Because of this, saying an exact number of years ago in the modern calendar would not be accurate unless based on Jain cosmological calculations.

Takeaway

Adeshwar Dada was born countless ages ago, in the very ancient third Ara of the present Avasarpini, and is revered as the first Tirthankar of this time cycle.
