Jain art refers to religious works of art associated with Jainism.
 Even though Jainism spread only in some parts of India, it has made a significant contribution to Indian art and architecture.
 In general Jain art broadly follows the contemporary style of Indian Buddhist and Hindu art, though the iconography, and the functional layout of temple buildings, reflects specific Jain needs.
 The artists and craftsmen producing most Jain art were probably not themselves Jain, but from local workshops patonized by all religions.
 This may not have been the case for illustrated manuscripts, where many of the oldest Indian survivals are Jain.
Rishabhanatha (also Ṛṣabhadeva , Rishabhadeva, or Ṛṣabha which literally means "bull") is the first "Tirthankara" (ford maker) in Jainism.
 A mythical leader, he is believed in Jainism to have lived millions of years ago.
 He was the first of twenty four teachers in the present half cycle of time in Jain cosmology, and called a ford maker because his teachings helped one across the sea of interminable rebirths and deaths ("saṃsāra").
 He is also known as Ādinātha of Jainism which translates into "First ("Adi") Lord ("nātha")", as well as Adishvara (first ishvara), Yugadideva (deva of yuga), Prathamaraja (first king), and Nebheya (son of Nabhi).
 Along with Mahavira, Parshvanatha and Neminatha, Rishabhanatha is one of the four Tirthankaras that attract the most devotional worship among the Jains.
Padmanabh Shrivarma Jaini is an Indian born scholar of Jainism and Buddhism, currently living in Berkeley, California, United States.
 He is from a Digambar Jain family; however he is equally familiar with both the Digambara and Svetambara forms of Jainism.
 He has taught at the Banaras Hindu University, the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and at the University of California at Berkeley, from which he retired in 1994.
 Professor Jaini is the author of several books and papers.
 His best known work is "The Jaina Path of Purification" (1979).
 Some of his major articles have been published under these titles: "The Collected Papers on Jaina Studies" (2000) and "Collected Papers on Buddhist Studies" (2001).
Jainism is an ancient Indian religion belonging to the śramaṇa tradition.
 It prescribes "ahimsa" (non-violence) towards all living beings to the most possible extent.
 The three main teachings of Jainism are "ahimsa", "anekantavada" (non-absolutism), "aparigraha" (non-possessiveness).
 Followers of Jainism take five main vows: "ahimsa", "satya" (not lying), "asteya" (non stealing), "brahmacharya" (chastity), and "aparigraha".
 Monks follow them completely whereas "śrāvakas" (householders) observe them partially.
 Self-discipline and asceticism are thus major focuses of Jainism.
Dharmakīrti (fl.
 c. 6th or 7th century) was an influential Indian Buddhist philosopher who worked at Nālandā.
 He was one of the key scholars of epistemology (pramana) in Buddhist philosophy, and is associated with the Yogācāra and Sautrāntika schools.
 He was also one of the primary theorists of Buddhist atomism.
 His works influenced the scholars of Mīmāṃsā, Nyaya and Shaivism schools of Hindu philosophy as well as scholars of Jainism.
Jainism ( ), traditionally known as Jain Dharma, is one of the most ancient Indian religions.
Yakshini (also known as Yakshi; Yakkhini in Pali) are mythical beings of Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain mythology.
 Yakshini (Yakshi) is the female counterpart of the male Yaksha, and they are attendees of Kubera, the Hindu god of wealth who rules in the mythical Himalayan kingdom of Alaka.
 Yakshinis are often depicted as beautiful and voluptuous, with wide hips, narrow waists, broad shoulders, and exaggerated, spherical breasts.
 In "Uddamareshvara Tantra", thirty-six Yakshinis are described, including their mantras and ritual prescriptions.
 A similar list of Yakshas and Yakshinis are given in the "Tantraraja Tantra", where it says that these beings are givers of whatever is desired.
 Although Yakshinis are usually benevolent, there are also yakshinis with malevolent characteristics in Indian folklore.
 They are the guardians of the treasure hidden in the earth.
Tantras ("Looms" or "Weavings") refers to numerous and varied scriptures pertaining to any of several esoteric traditions rooted in Hindu and Buddhist philosophy.
 The religious culture of the Tantras is essentially Hindu, and Buddhist Tantric material can be shown to have been derived from Hindu sources.
 And although Hindu and Buddhist Tantra have many similarities from the outside, they do have some clear distinctions.
 The rest of this article deals with Hindu Tantra.
 Buddhist Tantra is described in the article on Vajrayana.
The Gothic King Theoderic the Great was remembered in Germanic legend as Dietrich von Bern (Bern is the Middle High German name for Verona, where Theoderic had one of his residences).
 Dietrich figures in a number of surviving works, and it must be assumed that these draw on long-standing oral tradition.
 The majority of poems about Dietrich/Theoderic are composed in Middle High German, and are generally divided by modern scholars into historical (German: "historische Dietrichepik") and fantastical (German: either "märchenhafte" or "aventiurehafte Dietrichepik").
 The historical poems can loosely be connected with the life of the historical Theoderic and concern his expulsion from Verona by his uncle Ermenrich (Ermanaric) and his attempts to regain his kingdom with the help of Etzel (Attila).
 The fantastical poems concern his battles with dwarfs, dragons, giants, and other mythical beings, as well as other heroes such as Siegfried.
 In addition to these two categories of poems, he appears as a supporting character in some poems such as the "Nibelungenlied" and "Biterolf und Dietleib".
Kanjirottu Yakshi (Chiruthevi) is a folkloric vampire.
 According to the myth, she was born into an affluent Padamangalam Nair tharavad by name Mangalathu at Kanjiracode in Southern Travancore (now in Tamil Nadu).
 Being a ravishingly beautiful courtesan she had an intimate relationship with Raman Thampi, son of King Rama Varma and rival of Anizhom Thirunal Marthanda Varma.
 According to the story, she was murdered by her servant and she turned into a Yakshi, (which is a class of mythical beings in malayalam folklore, that may not map exactly to the Yaksha class in Hindu Puranas) waylaying men with her beauty and drinking their blood.
