Vaibhāragiri (वैभारगिरि).—This hill has a well of juice having the power to remove poverty and a kuṇḍu of hot and cold water.Here shrine the peaks of Trikūṭa and Khaṇḍika. Here are to be seen various kinds of medicinal herbs, rivers like the Sarasvatī, many popular shrines like Magadha, Locana, etc., and many images of Arhats in the temples. On a visit to Śālibhadra and Dhanyarṣi, one gets freed from all sins. The lion, the tiger and other beasts of prey do not create disturbances at these shrines. On all sides, the vihāras are to be seen. In ancient times, Vaibhāragiri was the residence of the heroes like Rauhiṇeya. Rājagṛhapura stands in the valley of this mountain.

Vaibhāragiri also called Vebhāra is a mountain in Magadha (Patna and Gaya districts). The city of Girivraja is encircled by five hills of which Vebhāra is one.

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.
