Correct Spelling

[edit]

I think name should be spelt as Rishabha. Subramanya 09:17, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rishabha: avatar of Vishnu

[edit]

In the Bhagavata Purana (in particular canto) that is quoted, Krishna as the source of all avatars is described, as such Rishabha is also described as Krishna. But in list of avatars of Vishnu, Rishabha is also mentioned. These books explicitly mention rishabha as an avatar of Vishnu.

Here are a few more reliable sources (including John Muir (indologist)) that support Rishabha as an incarnation of Vishnu.[10][11][12] Priyanath talk 05:50, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Should those two articles be merged? Read them. They just seem to be two views (Hindu and Jain) of the same person, which would make them POV forks. Priyanath talk 05:56, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article can be built as a sub-article of Rishabha the tirthankar on the lines of Gautama Buddha in Hinduism. --Redtigerxyz Talk 06:16, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Red, that this page can be justified as a stand alone page and include details that would be undue in the Jain article. That said this page does need to be renamed to correct the capitalization: any prefrence among Rishabha (Hinduism) and Rishabha (Hindu sage). I prefer the former since Rishabha was not only a sage (also a king, avatar etc), but don't mind either. Abecedare (talk) 05:32, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Rishabha (Hinduism) would be best, for the reasons you explain. Priyanath talk 05:36, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Abecedare (talk) 05:42, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed unencyclopaedic and poor quality content from the page.

[edit]

I removed some paragraphs from the articles which were not relaible and poorly sourced, contained original research. If you have any problem then kindly discuss the issue here.-- Harshil want to talk? 05:28, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
