1) Ādityayaśas (आदित्ययशस्) is one of the sons of Cakrin Bharata, according to chapter 2.6 [ajitanātha-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 king Sagara said: “[...] the Blessed Ṛṣabha Svāmin, who had unequaled rule in the three worlds, the first of the Tīrthanāthas, the first of kings, [...] (yet) he died in course of time. His first son, the first Cakravartin, Bharata by name, [...], in course of time reached the end of his life. [...] Cakrin Bharata had a son, Ādityayaśas, a sun in powerful splendor, not deficient in strength. Mahāyaśas was the son of Ādityayaśas, his glory sung to the ends of the earth, the crest-jewel of all the powerful. [...]”.

2) Ādityayaśas (आदित्ययशस्) refers to one of the fifty-thousand sons of Amitatejas, according to chapter 5.1 [śāntinātha-caritra].—Accordingly:—“Then Arkakīrti’s son (i.e., Amitatejas) himself gave Śrīvijaya the vidyā obstructing weapons, capturing, and also releasing. He, causing death to enemies, sent fifty thousand of his sons: Raśmivega, Amitavega, Ravivega, Arkakīrti, Bhānuvega, Ādityayaśas, Bhānu, Citraratha, Arkaprabha, Arkaratha, Ravitejas, Prabhākara, Kiraṇavega, Sahasrakiraṇa and others accompanied by an army with the best of heroes, Tripṛṣṭha’s son, to the city Camaracañcā to take Sutārā from Aśanighoṣa at once. [...]”.

Ādityayaśas (आदित्ययशस्) or Sūryayaśas refers to one of Bharata’s sons, according to the Aṣṭāhnikamahotsava (dealing with Festivals in Jain literature), which is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—[...] Then come other stories: Śayyaṃbhavasūrikathā; Rohiṇeya-kathā, [...]. This includes the story of Sūryayaśas, alias Ādityayaśas, one of Bharata’s sons (Sanskrit verse telling in Schubring no. 401) whose steadiness in ascetic practices was put to test by Indra through the Apsaras Urvaśī. Even if a wide range of stories is used for commentaries/sermons connected with the eight days of paryushan, those of Ārdrakumāra, of the thief Rauhiṇeya and of Bharata’s sons are very popular: See, for instance, Kṣamākalyāṇa’s Paryuṣaṇāṣṭāhnikāvyākhāna (composed VS 1860), pp. 66-86 [...]

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.
