Dharnendra is the ''Attendant God'' (Yaksha) of Parshvanatha, twenty-third Tirthankara in Jainism. He enjoys an independent religious life and is very popular amongst Jains. According to the Digambara tradition, when Lord Parshvanatha was a prince, he saved two snakes that had been trapped in a log in an Kamath’s fire. Later, these snakes were reborn as Dharanendra, the lord of the underworld Naga Kingdom, and Padmavati. They, then sheltered Parshvanatha when he was harassed by Meghalin (Kamath reborn).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/444756/Parshvanatha )〕 Śvētāmbara tradition, however, does not list Padmavati among the main queens of Dharnendra. Western Ganga literature states that Dharnendra was worshipped for acquiring sons. == See also == * Uvasagharam Stotra * Parshvanatha * Padmavati (Jainism) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dharanendra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
