The concept of Samosaran - just like Tirthankar-nam-karan - is only available in Jainism and not in any other religion.

The creation of samosaran is done by four kinds of Dev (Gods) when a Tirthankar attains Keval Gyan(Complete knowledge). The shape of samosaran is either round or even square. It is of about 8 miles i.e. approx. of 1 yojan. This immensely beautiful development is done so that all and sundry on Earth, sky, water can hear the Tirthankar's speech when they attain keval gyan.

Jains do not account Mahavira as the founder of Jainism. Instead, they believe that Jainism is an eternal religion. However for this time frame (or kaal khand, a unit of time), Lord Rishabadeva, 1st Jain Tirthankar, is considered to have taught Jain values and teachings to common people for the first time (in this kaal khand). Mahavira is the 24th and the last Tirthankar of Jains who simply propagated the religion.
