Another reference to Nirvanth comes from the Hindu epic Mahabharata, where the character Bhishma Pitamaha is described as waiting for his death on the bed of arrows, desiring to attain Nirvana or Moksha. He is quoted as saying, "When the great Nirvanth, the best among the Jinas, reached the final stage of his life, he attained Moksha, leaving behind the physical body, just as a snake sheds its old skin. Similarly, I too desire to leave this body and attain the supreme salvation."
