How did Mahavira accept himself as the twenty-fourth Tirthankara of the Jina tradition?

According to Osho, Mahavira accepted himself as the twenty-fourth Tirthankara not by founding something new, but by aligning with an ancient, revolutionary Jina current that honors Rishabha, rejects God, ritual, and authority, and demands solitary self-effort. He placed himself in this living lineage of iconoclasts—pointing the way but refusing to command—where revolution and tradition complement each other as a continuous stream.
