Chandragupta Maurya

How does Acharya mentor Maurya, if Acharya is already dead? Obviously, there is an incongruity between the dates given... Stevenmitchell (talk) 22:52, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

From many scholars' perspective, Bhadrabahu didn't even meet Maurya cause he was dead by the time Maurya was born. There's a serious confusion about the dates. Besides, Jain scriptures say that King Udayin was the last 'king turned monk' and he is said to have been a contemporary of Mahavira. In that case, it seems unlikely that Maurya became a Jain monk even if we go by Jain scriptures. However, if we don't consider that incongruity, there's a high chance that the Bhadrabahu who was a contemporary of Maurya was different from this person. That's what many scholars believe.

Pattavali image and sourced content

Hello @Livingstonshr,The image that I've removed is already existed on Pattavali page.and there's no relavance of that image on Bhadrabahu page because there's only one line that mentioned Acharya Bhadrabahu.also I've noticed that you have removed sourced content, kindly explain the removal of that. Thank you Goyama (talk) 18:41, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The current picture is unclear and is a depiction of several events, and essentially not just a representation of Bhadrabahu. I suggest using a higher quality image, maybe from a Jain painting or a deorama or an idol, possibly. Unless we find such an image, we should keep the current one as it is.
