Abhayaghoṣa (अभयघोष) is the name of an ancient king from Vajrapura, according to chapter 5.4 [śāntinātha-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly, as Muni Sāgaracandra narrated to Candratilaka and Sūryatilaka:—“In the continent named Dhātakīkhaṇḍa in East Airavata there is a city named Vajrapura. Here there was a king, Abhayaghoṣa, a proclamation of fearlessness to the distressed. His wife was named Suvarṇatilakā. Two sons were born to them, Vijaya and Vaijayanta, and they gradually acquired the collection of arts and attained youth. [...]”.

context information

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
