Quick Answer

Bahubali attained moksha after his father Adinatha (Rishabhadeva). Adinatha, the first Tirthankara, renounced worldly life and attained omniscience before Bahubali, who renounced later following his battle with Bharata.

Detailed Answer

According to Jain tradition, Adinatha, also known as Rishabhadeva, was the first Tirthankara and the father of Bahubali. He renounced his kingdom and worldly life first, attaining omniscience and eventually moksha. After his renunciation, his sons were expected to surrender their kingdoms to the eldest son Bharata, who became a Chakravartin. Bahubali, however, resisted surrendering his kingdom and fought a battle with Bharata.
