# Rishabhadeva’s Appearance One of Agnidhra’s sons, Nabhi, underwent severe austerities to have a child just like the Supreme Lord. To reciprocate, Rishabhadeva manifested Himself in the sacrificial arena. The priests offered prayers to the Lord and felt somewhat embarrassed that He had appeared simply to fulfil the aspiration of the King. The Lord, always responsive to the prayers of His devotees, nevertheless agreed to appear in the womb of Merudevi, the wife of King Nabhi. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
