Tag: Mallinatha

Mallinatha was the 19th tirthaṅkara “ford-maker” of the present avasarpiṇi age in Jainism. Jain texts indicate Malliṇaha was born at Mithila into the Ikshvaku dynasty to King Kumbha and Queen Prajavatî. Tīrthaṅkara Mallinatha lived for over 56,000 years, out of which 54,800 years less six days, was with omniscience.According to the Digambara tradition, Mallinatha was a son born in a royal family and worships Mallinatha as a male. However, the Svetambara tradition of Jainism rejects this and states that Mallinatha was female.
