Source: academia.edu: The epoch of the Mahavira-nirvanaThe Epoch of the Aguptayika era (1034 BCE) A set of copper plates were found in 1926 in Belgaum district of Karnataka. The Palaeography of the plates clearly indicates that the epoch of the Aguptayika kings must have commenced at least 600 years before the epoch of the Gupta era. Therefore, the epoch of Aguptayika Kings must have commenced at an earlier date than the epoch of the Gupta era (335 BCE).
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.
