and Parameshwara (supreme God) while the Rudram describes the same about Shiva. In Krishna-centered theology (Krishna is seen as a form of Vishnu by most, except Gaudiya Vaishnavism) the title Svayam Bhagavan is used exclusively to designate Krishna in his personal feature, it refers to Gaudiya Vaishnava, the Nimbarka Sampradaya and followers of Vallabha, while the person of Vishnu and Narayana is sometimes referred to as the ultimate personal god of other Vaishnava traditions. Jainism Jainism explicitly denies existence of non-personal transcendent god and explicitly affirms existence of personal gods. All gods in Jainism are personal. One of the major point of dispute between Digambara and Shwetambara is the gender of the gods. Digambara gods can only be men, and any man of at least eight years of age can become god if he follows the right procedure. Jain gods are eternal, but they are not beginningless. Also, Jain gods are all omniscient, but not omnipotent. They are sometimes called quasi-gods due to this reason. Gods are said to be free from the following eighteen imperfections: janma – (re)birth; jarā – old-age; triśā – thirst; kśudhā – hunger; vismaya – astonishment; arati – displeasure; kheda – regret; roga – sickness; śoka – grief; mada – pride; moha – delusion; bhaya – fear; nidrā – sleep; cintā – anxiety; sveda – perspiration; rāga – attachment; dveśa – aversion; and maraņa – death. The four infinitudes of god are (ananta cātuṣṭaya) are: ananta jñāna, infinite knowledge ananta darśana, perfect perception due to the destruction of all darśanāvaraṇīya karmas ananta sukha, infinite bliss ananta vīrya – infinite energy Those who re-establish the Jain faith are called Tirthankaras. They have additional attributes. Tirthankaras revitalize the sangha, the fourfold order consisting of male saints (sādhus), female saints (sādhvis), male householders (śrāvaka) and female householders (Śrāvika). The first Tirthankara of the current time cycle was Ṛṣabhanātha, and the twenty-fourth and last Tirthankara was Mahavira, who lived from 599 BCE to 527 BCE. Jain texts mention forty-six attributes of arihants or tirthankaras. These attributes comprise four infinitudes (ananta chatushtaya), thirty-four miraculous happenings (atiśaya), and eight splendours (prātihārya). The eight splendours (prātihārya) are: aśokavrikśa – the Ashoka tree; siṃhāsana– bejeweled throne; chatra – three-tier canopy; bhāmadal – halo of unmatched luminance; divya dhvani – divine voice of the Lord without lip movement; puśpavarśā – shower of fragrant flowers; camara – waving of sixty-four majestic hand-fans; and dundubhi –
