Pali texts, Mahavira is referred to as Nigantha Nataputta, which translates to “leader of those who are free from bonds”. Mahavira was the founder of Jainism and the 24th Tirthankara, or Supreme Teacher, of the religion. He was born in the early 6th century BCE to a royal Jain family and was also known by his birth name, Vardhamana, which means “prosperous or growing”.
