R - Rishabhadeva (1-6)

When the Lord appeared as the son of King Nabhi, he was named Rishabhadeva, ‘the best of all beings.’ Lord Rishabhadeva instructed his sons in the importance of utilising their human lives to serve the saintly persons and perform devotional service. That celebrated discourse is a frequently quoted passage of Srimad-Bhagavatam. Later, Rishabhadeva renounced everything and adopted the arduous practice of jada-yoga, where one refrains from social intercourse in order to intensify their spiritual immersion.
