		This first Tirthankara (literally "maker of the river-crossing") is said to have invented cooking, writing, pottery, painting, and sculpture, the institution of marriage and ceremonies for the dead.
		Not much else is recorded about Rishabha and the next twenty Tirthankaras, but the ancient Jaina tradition that there were ascetic religious teachers in India before the coming of the Vedic Aryans is likely from evidence found in the Harappan culture.

		Traditionally known as Jain Dharma, Jainism is an ancient religion derived from the Indus-Valley Civilization, first cultivated as an independent branch off of the early principles which would eventually evolve into Hinduism.
		It is based primarily off the teachings of Lord Mahvira (599-527 B.C.), though its fundamental truths may have initially been delivered to humanity through Lord Rishabha much earlier in history.
		Jains are similar to Buddhists in many respects, particularly in terms of disciplinary practice, the pursuit of enlightenment, as well as the individual power of the spiritual person.
