Historical Usage
The great Hindu scholar and philosopher Adi Shankara, who lived around 788 to 820 AD, is known to have visited several sacred sites (Tirthas) in India during his lifetime. One such site is believed to be Tirthamala (Tirumala) in present day Andhra Pradesh, which is famous for the Tirupati Balaji temple. Adi Shankara is said to have visited this site and performed deep spiritual practices, thereby gaining the title 'Tirthraj'.
788 to 820 AD
Another reference to the name 'Tirthraj' can be found in the 13th century Indian epic 'Mahabharata', where the term is used to describe a person who has visited or bathed in all the sacred pilgrimage sites (Tirthas). These pilgrimages are believed to cleanse one's soul and bring spiritual growth. The character Bhima, one of the Pandava brothers, is referred to as Tirthraj after he completes his pilgrimage to all the sacred sites.
