first person to attain moksha

In Jain philosophy, moksha refers to liberation from the cycle of birth and death (samsara). The first soul to achieve this ultimate liberation is Lord Rishabhanatha, also known as Adinatha, who is revered as the first Tirthankara. He is considered the originator of the Jain teachings and the one who laid down the path for others to follow towards spiritual freedom. His enlightenment and liberation set the precedent for the subsequent Tirthankaras who guided humanity on the path of non-violence, truth, and self-discipline.
