Our Ninth Tirthankar is Suvidhinath.In his past life he was King Mahapadma of Pushkalvati Vijay. He already had undergone many rigorous spiritual activites in his past lifes and he never was attracted towards luxury and other materialistic things. So in his next life he was reborn as the ninth Tirthankar. His soul descended into the womb of Queen Rama Devi who was the wife of King Sugriv of Kakandi region. The queen then saw the  fourteen auspicious dreams which every Tirthanakar's mother see, which meant that the child in her womb was a Tirthankar. The dreams were- 

1. A large and beautiful white bull entering her mouth.

2. A lion

3. A garland of flowers

4. A giant elephant having four tusks

5. Goddess Lakshmi seated on a lotus

6. The glorious Sun

7. The full moon shining in the sky

8. A sea of milk

9. A golden urn

10. A Flag which was fluttering

11. A vehicle of the Gods which moves in space

12. A pond filled with lotus flowers

13. A heap of gems

14. A fire without smoke

The religious saint Muni Shri Shantipriya explained to the parents, the auspiciousness of the birth and the good fortune that they both received by becoming become the parents of a Tirthankar. Both the King and Queen were happy and waiting for the day when their son will be borned. Then on the fifth day of the Magashirsha month at Krishna Paksh (of the Jain calendar) Queen gave birth to a son. During her pregnancy, Queen discovered that she could perform even the most difficult tasks with complete ease and in the correct procedure which everyone around her noticed and were suprised. The royal priest said that this was due the quality of the child in her womb and so the child was named Suvidhi( which means correct process). During his teething period, the Queen had a craving to play with flowers, therefore he was also called Pushpadanta (flower tooth).Suvidhi soon grew up and at the age of his marriage he was married. And then King handed over his kingdom to Suvidhi and proceeded to the forest to perform spiritual practices. Inspite of becoming King Suvidhinath was never attached to luxury which his kingdom was providing him and he practised meditation and led a pious life taking care of his subjects and ruling his kingdom wisely.

One day during his prayers, memories of all his earlier life came to him and he realised the goal of his life. A deep sense of detachment came over him. He then became an ascetic undergoing a life of penance and rigorous spiritual practices. He achieved Omniscience on sixth day of month of Kartak(according to jain calender) under a maloor tree.

He continued preaching the principles of jain philosophy and urged the people to practice Right Living, Right Action and Right Conduct. He explained the goal of life to people and explained them to give up a life of materialistic world and to seek salvation by practicing non violence, compassion and other qualities and to avoid wasting life in sensual pleasures. In the dark half of the month of Kartik he attained Nirvana on the Tirth of Sammed Shikarji.
