The correct answer is: D. Vardhamana Mahavira.<\/p>\n
Vardhamana Mahavira was the 24th Tirthankara, the last of the Jain Tirthankaras. He was born in Kundagrama, a village near Vaishali, in the Indian subcontinent, in the 6th century BCE. He renounced his royal life at the age of 30 and embarked on a life of asceticism. He attained Kaivalya (i.e., the supreme knowledge and final deliverance from the bonds of pleasure and pain) at the age of 42.<\/p>\n
Rishabhanath was the first Tirthankara of the Jain tradition. He is said to have lived in the 9th Manvantara, and is credited with establishing the Jain religion.<\/p>\n
Aristanemia was the second Tirthankara of the Jain tradition. He is said to have lived in the 10th Manvantara, and is credited with further developing the Jain religion.<\/p>\n
Parsva Natha was the 23rd Tirthankara of the Jain tradition. He is said to have lived in the 8th century BCE, and is credited with reviving the Jain religion.<\/p>\n
All three of these figures were important religious teachers who had a significant impact on the development of Jainism. However, it was Vardhamana Mahavira who attained Kaivalya, and is therefore considered to be the most important of the three.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
