The Physical Power of a Tirthankar: A
Mythical Compilation
A Tirthankar is the exposition of all dormant powers in a being. He is
infinitely powerful. In the mythological literature of Jains, this power
has been calculated as follows-
- A bull is as powerful as 12 warriors.
- A horse is as powerful as 10 bulls.
- A bufallow is as powerful as 12 horses.
- An elephant is as powerful as 15 bufallows.
- A lion is as powerful as 500 elephants.
- An octoped is as powerful as 2000 lions.
- A Baldev is as powerful as 1 million octopeds.
- A Vasudev is as powerful as 2 Baldevs.
- A Chakravarti is as powerful as 2 Vasudevs.
- A king of serpent gods is as powerful as 100000 Chakravartis.
- An Indra is as powerful as 10 million kings of serpent gods.
- The power of innumerable Indras is significant as compared to that
of the small finger of a Tirthankar.
