Adinath (Rishabhanath) ne Diksha lene ki jagah aam taur par Ashoka vruksh ke neeche batayi jaati hai. Kai Jain purano me likha hai ki Rishabhdev ne Siddharthvana (Ayodhya ke paas) ke aas-paas Ashoka vruksh ke neeche apne saare kapde utar kar sanyas ki raah apnaayi. Is prakar Diksha ki kriya wahi sthaan ya usse judi ek shanti-poorna jaga pe hui, jahan se unhone arthaat keval jnan ki or agrasar kiya. Digambar aur Shvetambar dono paramparaon me is Ashoka vruksh ki kahani se sambandhit vruksh-chinhaon ko samajhte hain, halanki sthaan aur vivaran me kuch chhote pharak mil sakte hain.

• Arth (arth): Adinath ki Diksha ek vishesh vruksh ke neeche hui thi, jo us Tirthankar ke Diksha vruksh (initiation tree) ke roop me jaanta jaata hai. Ashoka vruksh ko Diksha vruksh ke roop me maana jaata hai, aur yeh dharmik parampara me Adinath ki renunciation ki pratik hai.
• Jeevani/parampara: Digambar-Shvetambar dono is katha ko samarthit maante hain, lekin kuch sthaanon ke naam ya vivaran me thode bhinnataen mil sakti hain.
• Sankshipt srot: Diksha vruksh ki soochna is vishay par Jain Knowledge ki pradhaanik jankari me milti hai, jisme Adinath ki Ashoka vruksh ke neeche Diksha ki kahani samjhayi gayi hai. ( jainknowledge.com, jainmuseum.com)
