• Birth date: Traditional Jain accounts often state Indrabhuti Gautam (Gautam Swami) was born in 607 BCE in the village Gobargaon/Gorargaon in Magadha. This is a traditional chronology given in Jain storytelling sources. You can read a compilation of his birth narrative here .

• Nirvāṇa (moksha) date: Gautam Swami is reported to have attained Kevala Jñāna (omniscience) after Mahavira’s nirvāṇa, and his own nirvāṇa is traditionally dated to 515 BCE, at the age of about 92. For a concise retelling, see the Jain knowledge page discussing Gautam Swami and his place in the Mahavira tradition here and the related notes on Diwali/Nirvāṇa timeline here .

Notes:

• Some Jain traditions place exact years within a broader chronology that varies between Digambar and Śvetāmbara lineages; the dates above reflect the commonly cited traditional timeline found in Jain sources. If you’d like, I can summarize the small differences between Digambara and Śvetāmbara chronologies.
