I can look up the answer about the Tirhankara for you.

A quote from the troll to my email:
From: BBB

Subject: Y!A

Message: why don't you do the Honorable thing and die. i hate idol worshipers and their sympathizers.

The coward won't accept replies.


ANSWER: NATAPUTTA VARDHAMANA known to his followers as Mahavira (great hero) who was the 24Th and last Tirthankara (crossing builders) who forged a bridge between this life and Nirvana.

The twenty-second Tirthankara, Arishtanemi, is mentioned in the Kalpa Sutra. All of the Tirthankaras were Kshatriyas, and Arishtanemi was the son of King Ashvasena of Varanasi (Benares) and cousin of Krishna, who is supposed to have lived during the great Bharata war probably about 900 BC. According to legend Krishna negotiated his marriage to princess Rajamati. However, when Arishtanemi discovered the great number of deer and other animals to be sacrificed at his wedding, he changed his mind to prevent their slaughter, brooded over the cruelty and violence of human society, and soon renounced the world to seek and find enlightenment.
