What was the name assigned to Rishabhnath Tirthankar because of the mark on his right leg?

The correct answer is: C. Rishabh

Rishabhnath was the first Tirthankara of the Jain religion. He was born in a royal family and lived a life of luxury. However, he was eventually disillusioned with the world and renounced his wealth and position to become a monk. He is said to have attained enlightenment under a tree and to have preached his teachings for 30 years.

The name Rishabh is derived from the Sanskrit word “rishabha”, which means “bull”. This is because Rishabhnath is said to have been born with a mark on his right leg that resembled the hoof of a bull. This mark is said to have been a sign of his future greatness.

The other options are incorrect because:

• Hiranyagarbha is the name of the first being in the universe according to Hindu mythology.
• Prajapati is the name of a god in Hinduism who is responsible for creating the universe.
• Vrihad Deva is the name of a god in Hinduism who is associated with the sun.
