Because of his virtuous deeds Ajitnath Tirthankara was born from whose womb?

A. Vijaya

B. Tara

C. Sharmestha

D. Geeta

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Queen Vijaya Devi saw fourteen auspicious dreams. Vaijayanti, the wife of king Jitshatru's younger brother, Sumitra, also saw the same fourteen dreams. This was a queer coincidence. When the augurs were consulted they advised that Vijaya Devi would give birth to a Tirthankar and Vaijayanti to a Chakravarti (Emperor). During the queen's pregnancy, the influence of king Jitshatru was enhanced to such an extant that even the enemy kingdoms sought and negotiated friendly treaties with him. It became a common practice to say, "King Jitshatru is invincible (Ajit)."
