The king is Sukarajan. According to Jain legends, Sukarajan—also called Jitasatru in some texts—achieved victory over his enemies at the sacred site of Shatrunjaya. Because he conquered outer foes as well as his internal (passional) enemies, the place came to be known as Shatrunjaya, the place of victory. This story is told to explain the name and the spiritual significance of the hill, where many Tirthankaras attained emancipation after fasting or renunciation. There are variations in the details across Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions, but the core idea remains that Shatrunjaya represents victory over both inner and outer enemies.
