The above statement is True.
Vardhamana Mahavira was the most famous Jaina thinker. The followers of Mahavira are known as Jainas. He was a Kshatriya prince of the Lichchhavis of the Vajji sangha. He left home at thirty and attained enlightenment after 12 years. His doctrine was simple. He asked people to leave their homes to know the truth. He insisted on strictly following the rules of ahimsa, which means not hurting or killing living beings. Mahavira and his followers used the Prakrit language, spoken in several parts of the country in different forms, to spread his teachings, which ordinary people understood. Thus, Mahavira and his doctrine reached vast common masses.
