Jambuswami (543-449 BCE) was the spiritual successor of Sudharmaswami in Jain religious order reorganised by Mahavira.[1][2] He remained the head for 39 or 44 years, after which he is believed to have gained Kevala Jnana (omniscience).[1][3] He is believed to be the third and last 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 bandit by him.[2] Prabhava was succeeded by Shayyambhava (377-315 BCE).[2] Shayyambhava composed Dasavaikalika sutra after studying the fourteen purvas (pre-canonical texts).[2] He was initiated as 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]
