King '''Nabhi''' or '''Nabhi Rai''' was the 14th or the last ''[[Kulakara]]'' of ''[[avasarpini]]'' (the descending half of the cosmic time cycle in Jainism and the one in which the world is said to be at present). He was the father of [[Rishabhanatha]], the first ''[[tirthankara]]'' (founder of Jainism) of present ''avasarpini''. According to Jain text ''[[Ādi purāṇa]]'', Nabhirāja lived for 1 [[crore]] ''purva'' and his height was 525 ''dhanusha'' (long bows).

According to [[Jain literature]], India was known as ''[[Nābhivarṣa]]'' (land of Nabhi) before being renamed as ''Bhāratavarṣa'' after [[Bharata chakravartin|Bharata]], the son of [[Rishabhanatha]].
