According to Jain texts, Bahubali was born to Rishabhanatha and Sunanda during the ikshvaku dynasty in ayodhya he's said to possess excelled in studying medicine, archery, floriculture, and therefore the knowledge of precious gems. Bahubali had a son named Somakirti (also referred to as Mahabala). When Rishabhanatha decided to become a monk, he distributed his kingdom among his 100 sons. Bharata was gifted the dominion of Vinita ayodhya and Bahubali got the dominion of Asmaka from south india, having Podanpur (bodhan) as its capital. After winning six divisions of earth altogether directions (digvijaya), Bharata proceeded to his capital Ayodhyapuri with an enormous army and divine chakra-ratna—spinning, disk-like super weapon with serrated edges.But the chakra-ratna stopped on its own at the doorway of Ayodhyapuri, signalling to the emperor that his 99 brothers have yet not submitted to his authority Bharata's 98 brothers became jain monks and submitted their kingdoms to him. Bahubali was endowed with the ultimate and superior body of extraordinary sturdiness and strength (vajra-ṛṣabhanārācasaṃhanana )like Bharata. He hurled open defiance at the chakravartin and challenged him to a fight.
The ministers on each side gave the subsequent argument to stop war; "The brothers themselves, can't be killed by any means; they're in their last incarnations in transmigration, and possess bodies which no weapon may mortally wound in warfare! allow them to fight out the difficulty by themselves in other ways. it had been then decided that to settle the dispute, three sorts of contests between Bharata and Bahubali would be held. These were eye-fight (staring at each other), water-fight (jala-yuddha), and wrestling (malla yuddha). Bahubali won all the three contests over his elder brother, Bharata
RENUNCIATION
After the fight, Bahubali was crammed with disgust at the planet and developed a desire for renunciation. Bahubali abandoned all possessions-kingdom, clothes, ornaments-to become a monk and began meditating with great resolve to attain omniscience ( kevalagnana)
He is said to have meditated motionless in a standing posture kayotsarga for a year, during which time climbing plants grew around his legs.However, he was adamant and continued his practice unmindful of the vines, ants, and mud that enveloped his body. According to Jain text Ādi purāṇa, on the Judgment Day of Bahubali's one year long fast, Bharata came altogether humility to Bahubali and worshiped him with veneration and respect. A painful regret that he had been the cause of his elder brother's humiliation had been disturbing Bahubali's meditation; this was dispersed when Bharata worshipped him.]Bahubali was then able to destroy the four sorts of inimical karmas, including the knowledge obscuring karma, and he attained omniscience (kevala jnana). He was now revered as an omniscient being kevali Bahubali finally attained liberation moksha and became a pure, liberated soul (siddha). , he was one of the first Digambara monks to have attained moksha in the present half-cycle of time.(avasrp)
