Connections
How Tirthankara connects
Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.
Affiliation 1
What this means
Association with a tradition or school. Traditions branch, overlap and re-merge; this is not a clean single-origin tree.
Does not imply personal belief at every point in a life · the practice of a population
Imported from Wikidata unless a tile says otherwise. Nothing here has been read by an editor.
Succession in office 2
What this means
Who held an office after whom. Not parentage, not discipleship, and not universally recognised — offices are contested.
Does not imply recognition by every tradition · an uncontested claim
Imported from Wikidata unless a tile says otherwise. Nothing here has been read by an editor.
