Statue of Ananthanatha
  • Anantanatha was the fourteenth Tirthankara of the present age (Avasarpini) of Jainism. According to Jain beliefs, he became a Siddha, a liberated soul which has destroyed all of its karma (unfulfilled thoughts, words and actions and their consequences).
  • Anantanatha was born to King Sinhasena and Queen Suyasha at Ayodhya in the Ikshvaku dynasty. His birth date was the 13th day of the Vaishakha Krishna month of the Indian calendar.
  • Ananthnatha Purana (meaning life-story of Anantanatha) was written by Janna in 1230 CE.
