    Which mountains.did the 24 tirthankars attain moksha by ranking?

    10 months ago 111

    Here is the traditional grouping of where the 24 Tirthankaras attained moksha, arranged roughly by their order and the commonly cited mountains:

    • Rishabhanatha (Adinath) — Mount Ashtapada (often identified with Kailash region in some texts).
    • Ajitnath — Mount Sammed Shikharji (Parasnath Hill) is the most venerated site for many Tirthankaras; Ajitnath is among those associated with Shikharji in many traditions.
    • The Tirthankaras from the 3rd to the 10th (Sambhavanath, Abhinandananath, Sumatinath, Padmaprabha, Suparshvanath, Chandraprabha, Pushpadanta, Shitalanath, Shreyansanath) are typically said to have attained moksha at Mount Shikharji.
    • Vasupujya — Champapuri (near modern Bhagalpur, Bihar).
    • Vimalanatha — Mount Shikharji (often listed with the Shikharji group).
    • Anantanatha, Dharmanatha, Shantinatha, Kunthunatha, Aranatha, Mallinatha, Munisuvratanatha, Naminatha — Mount Shikharji (the Shikharji group is the most common attribution for these 12–15 Tirthankaras).
    • Neminatha — Mount Girnar (Gujarat).
    • Parshvanatha (Parasnath) — Mount Sammed Shikharji (Parasnath Hills) in many lists; some traditions associate him with Shikharji as well.
    • Mahavira — Pavapuri (near present-day Patna, Bihar), the place where he attained moksha.

    Notes:

    • The most widely cited tradition holds that the majority (about 20) Tirthankaras attained moksha at Shikharji (Sammed Shikharji, Parasnath Hills). A few are associated with other mountains (for example, Rishabhanatha with Ashtapada, Neminatha with Girnar, Vasupujya with Champapuri, and Mahavira with Pavapuri). Different Jain traditions (Digambara vs. Śvetāmbara) sometimes differ in minor details or emphasis, but the core sacred sites and the general pattern are preserved.
