ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Śālikanātha

So, śālikanātha is a really fancy name for a person. He was a very smart guy who lived a loooong time ago in India. People still talk about him because he was very good at studying and teaching about religion and philosophy.

You know how you have different subjects in school, like math and science? Well, śālikanātha was really good at a subject called "logic." This means he was great at thinking really hard about things and figuring out if they made sense.

He also loved to study religion and spirituality. He wrote a lot of books about these things and helped other people to understand them better.

So, even though śālikanātha lived a long time ago, people still think he was very wise and learned. They like to read his books and learn from his ideas.
