According to Jain scriptures and traditions, King Shrenik (also known as Bimbisara) was a prominent devotee of Lord Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara. Jain texts portray King Shrenik as a righteous and pious ruler who frequently sought guidance from Lord Mahavira and supported the Jain community.

Regarding the end of his life, Jain scriptures do not explicitly mention that King Shrenik committed suicide. His death is described differently in various traditions:

• Jain Tradition: Some Jain texts mention that King Shrenik was reborn as a hellish being (Naraka) due to certain karmas, despite his devotion. The cause of his death is not detailed as suicide.
• Buddhist Tradition: In some Buddhist accounts (where he is known as Bimbisara), it is mentioned that he was imprisoned and possibly died as a result of self-imposed starvation, but this is not a Jain account.

In summary, according to Jain teachings, there is no direct mention of King Shrenik committing suicide. Jainism emphasizes ahimsa (non-violence), including non-violence towards oneself, and suicide is not condoned in Jain philosophy.
