How did you get a bachelor’s degree?
Vardhman had a strong desire for retirement since childhood. He was not interested in money and power. During this time his father passed away, which also eliminated the remaining expectations of Vardhman’s life. When he retired, he was only 30 years old. After this, he did harsh penance for 12 years. As a result of this penance, he attained knowledge under the Shalva tree on the banks of Rizupalika River in Jambak forest. This knowledge is called Kaivalya and that is why Lord Mahavira was given the title of Kevalin.
