Genealogical Table of Aristanemi & Krsna

July 1968pp. 25–26English

Summary

This single‑page genealogical chart situates Aristanemi (Neminātha), the 22nd Tīrthaṅkara, within the Vr̥ṣṇi/Yādava lineage associated with Kṛṣṇa. It visually maps relations among figures such as Sātvata, Andhaka, and Vasudeva, clarifying how puranic and Jain narrative strands interweave around the royal houses of Dvārakā. The chart’s function in the issue is documentary: to anchor the longer article on Aristanemi with a quick reference to family relationships frequently invoked in the stories of renunciation and dialogue. By foregrounding kinship links, the page helps readers interpret cross‑references—e.g., Rajimati (Rājul) and the Vr̥ṣṇi princes—showing why Jain hagiography speaks in a shared idiom with epic traditions while recasting values around ahiṃsā and asceticism.
