Jambuswami (543-449 BCE) was the spiritual successor of

kevali (omniscient being) after Mahavira in Jain tradition.[4] He is believed to have attained moksha (liberation) at the age of 84 in Mathura.[1][3][5]

Jambu was succeeded by Prabhava (443-338 BCE), who was converted from a

Jain monk.[6] He initiated his son as a monk at the age of eight and taught him sacred knowledge in 10 lectures in six months after which the latter died.[7]

Shayyambhava was succeeded by Yasobhadra (351-235 BCE), who was succeeded by his two disciples, Sambhutavijaya (347-257 BCE) and Bhadrabahu (322-243 BCE).[7]
