Aapka arth hai: “Mahavir Swami ne sabse zyada tap kis bhav (janm) me kiya?”

Uttar:

• Bhagwan Mahavir ne sabse adhik tap apne charam bhav (antim janm) me kiya.
• Ve 30 varsh ki aayu me diksha lekar lagatar 12 varsh 6 mahine kathin sadhana aur tap me rahe.
• Is avadhi me unhone bahu-din upvaas, kayotsarg, indriya-nigrah aur kshamapana-bhavana se kashayon par vijay paayi; ati-alp aur shuddh aahar kabhi-kabhi grahan kiya.
• Isi tap-shuddhi ke parinaam se unko kevaljnan prapt hua, aur ve Tirthankar ke rūp me deshna dene lage.

Digambar–Shwetambar drishti:

• Dono paramparaen is baat par sammat hain ki sabse kathin aur dirgh tap unke charam bhav me hi hua aur avadhi 12 varsh 6 mahine hi kahi gayi hai.
• Varnan me kuchh vivaran-bhed milte hain (jaise vastra-tyag par zor, aahar-grahan ki paddhati), par mool tattva—“sabse adhik tap charam bhav me”—dono me ek samaan hai.
