Sambhavanatha was the third Jain Tirthankara (omniscient teaching God) of the present Cosmic Cycle of Time (Avasarpini). Sambhavanatha was born to King Jitārī and Queen Susena at Sravasti. His birth date was the fourteenth day of the Margshrsha shukla month of the Indian calendar. Like all Arihants (omniscient beings), Sambhavanatha at the end of his life destroyed all associated karmas (one's unfulfilled actions and their consequences) and attained moksha (liberation).
Sambavanatha is associated with the Horse emblem, Sala tree, Trimukha (three-faced) Yaksha and Prajnapthi & Duritari Yakshis (guardian deities).
According to the Jain text Uttarapurāṇa,
Sambhavanatha possessed three types of
knowledge from birth.
