Kṛtaṅgalā (कृतङ्गला) is the name of a village visited by Mahāvīra during his 11th Year as Kevalī.—Leaving Rājagṛha, the Lord reached Kṛtaṅgalā-Kayaṅgalā where the samavaśaraṇa was held at the “Chatrapalāśa” garden. At that time, a renouncer named Skandaka used to live in Śrāvastī city near Kṛtaṅgalā. He was the disciple of “Gardabhāla” and well-versed in Vedas and Vedāṅgas.

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.
