Ajitnatha (literally meaning invincible) was the second Tirthankara of the present age - Avasarpini (descending half of the Cosmic Time Cycle) according to Jainism. He was born to King Jitashatru and Queen Vijaya at Ayodhya in the Ikshvaku dynasty. According to Jain history, he became a Siddha, a liberated soul which has destroyed all of his karma (unfulfilled actions and its consequences).
Ajinatha is associated with his Elephant emblem and Saptha-parna tree.
