Bahubali Bhagwan ne tapasya lagbhag 12 saal tak ki thi. (Kayotsarga ki sthiti me khade reh kar yaani khade rehkar woh apni cravings se virakti ki aur kevaljnan praapt kiya—kevaljnan ko prapt karne ke baad moksha ki praapti hui.)

Dharmic dono Digambar aur Śvetāmbara paramparao me is 12 saal ki tapasya ki kahani aam roop se suni jaati hai. (Kuch chhoti kahaniyon ya alag pratyakhyanon me samay ki vyakhya alag mil sakti hai, par adhikansh prachin srot is 12 varsh ki tapasya ko hi satyata se darshate hain.)

Aap chahein to is vishay par aur vishwaasniye Jain dharmic granthon ki jaankari dekh sakte hain.
