The first disciple of Lord Mahavir was

Jamali
Yosuda
Bipin
Prabhash

The correct answer is (d) Prabhash.

Jamali was a disciple of Mahavira’s contemporary, Parshvanatha. Yosuda was a lay follower of Mahavira. Bipin was a disciple of Mahavira’s grandson, Neminatha. Prabhash was the first disciple of Mahavira himself.

Prabhash was born in a Brahmin family in the town of Kundagrama, near Vaishali. He was a wealthy and learned man, but he was also very unhappy. He was troubled by the suffering of the world and the impermanence of all things.

One day, Prabhash met Mahavira and was impressed by his teachings. He decided to become Mahavira’s disciple and renounce the world. He gave up his wealth and possessions and became a wandering ascetic.

Prabhash was a devoted disciple of Mahavira. He served Mahavira faithfully for many years and helped to spread his teachings. He was one of Mahavira’s most important disciples and played a key role in the development of Jainism.
