    Tirthankar of 6th ara

    10 months ago 55

    The 6th Tirthankar is Padmaprabha (Padmaprabhu).

    • Name and symbol: Padmaprabha means “bright like a red lotus,” and his emblem is the red lotus.
    • Birth and parents: Born in Kaushambi. In Śvetāmbara texts his father is King Dhara; in Digambara texts his father is Dharana, and his mother is Queen Susima.
    • Path and Moksha: He quickly attained Kevala Jnana after a short ascetic period and ultimately Moksha occurred at Sammed Shikhar.
    • Traditions: There are small differences between Digambara and Śvetāmbara accounts on some details, but Padmaprabha is acknowledged as the 6th Tirthankar in both traditions.
