LORD RISHABHA & LORD VISHNUJainsim is Considered the First Religion of India.At That Time Hinduism didn't Developed Strongly.The Reason was that Hinduism is based on the Power of Bhramins. The Upper Section of People of the Indian Society. The Rest of the People Have no Religious-Rights at That time.
So It Became Necessary to Create a Religion which is Acceptable For All.This Led to the Formation of Jainism.
Jainism like Buddhism arose us a protest against the ritualism of the Hindu Religion. It's origin is traced to Vedic times. The first Jaina Tirthankara was Rishabha. After his appearance, 23 Tirthankaras made their appearance at successive intervals of decreasing length of time. Details about their lives are given in the Jaina treatise Kalpa-Sutra.
The 23rd Tirthankara was Parshwanath who though not as famous as Lord Mahavira is still widely remembered among the Jains. Parshwanath is said to have lived 250 years before Mahavira.
Lord Mahavira is Considered as the Reformer of Jainism.This is the Reason that Mahavir Jayanthi is Regarded as the Main Festival of Jains.
Rishabha & Hinduism:
There is a Belief that Lord Rishabha is None Other Than Lord Shiva.In the List of Twenty Four Incarnations of Lord Vishnu in Bhagavatha Purana Lord Rishabha is Considered as the Ninth Avathar.It was he who advised the people to follow the path of eternal bliss, instead of indulging in a life of worldly pleasures and enjoyment. He is the founder and promoter of sramanic culture.
In the depth study of the Vedas and Puranas which contain numerous references to Rishabha.
The Bhagavatha Purana says:
अष्टमे मेरुदेव्यां तु नाभेर्जात उरूक्रमः. दर्शयन वर्म धीराणां सर्वाश्रमनमस्कृतम्
(In the womb of Merudevi, wife of Nabhi, Rishaba had his eighth avatara. He showed himself in a form that is to be worshipped by those in any stage of life (ashrama).
Bhāgavata calls him "शरीर मात्र परिग्रह " (body his only possession), "गगन परिधानः " (wearing the sky), वातरशना (wearing the wind).
