Jain dharma ke anusar agle Tirthankar ke janm ki parampara chalti rahegi. Mahavira ke baad aage ek 25th Tirthankar aayenge, lekin uska nishchit naam prachin granthon me spasht roop se likha nahi hai. Kai granthon ya samprado me kuch vikalp naam milte hain, par sabhi vyakhyaon me is baat ki pushti alag-alag hai. Isliye, kisi ek vishesh naam ko later “agla” kehna sahi roop se kahna mushkil hai. Digambar aur Shvetambar dono pramukh sampradayon ki vyakhyaon me thodi bhinnata hoti hai, par mool siddhant yahi hai ki aaj se bhavishya me Tirthankar ki parampara jari rahegi.
