Jainism
History
According to historians, the first 22 tirthankaras were mythical. The 23rd, Parshvanatha, is based on a historic person, possibly of the eighth to sixth century BCE. Mahāvīra is considerd a contemporary of the Buddha, in around the 5th century BCE. The interaction between the two religions began with the Buddha; later, they competed for followers and the merchant trade networks that sustained them. Buddhist and Jain texts sometimes have the same or similar titles but present different doctrines.
