ऋषभ (Ṛṣabha in dharmic religion)

ऋषभ or Ṛṣabha is listed as the eighth avatāra of विष्णु (Viṣṇu) of twenty-two in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.3.13, but it should be noted also that शिव (Śiva) has a ninth avatāra (of twenty-eight in Liṅga Purāṇa 1.24.43, also mentioned in the Śiva Purāṇa) named Ṛṣabha. There is likely distinction between the two identities. The first तीर्थंकर (tīrthaṅkara) of Jainism is identified as well by the name Ṛṣabha. and appears to be the same as the Vaiṣṇava avatāra, given the family description (inclusion within the Ikṣvāku dynasty, and fathered by King Nabhi).
