Krishna Maharaja ko Jain dharm mein Tirthankara ki soochi mein nahi maana jata. Jain tarkik parampara mein kul milakar 24 Tirthankara hote hain aur aakhri (24th) Tirthankara Mahavira hain. Bhavishya ke kisi Tirthankara ka vishesh naam sabhi Jain granthon mein ek samaan roop se likha nahi hota; kuch dharmik srot ya paramparayen bhavishya mein aane wale Tirthankara ki kalpana karti hain, lekin unke naam alag-alag granthon mein bhinn ho sakte hain. Isliye Krishna ko Jain tradition ke future Tirthankara ke roop mein sanket nahi kiya jata.

Agar aap chahen, main Tirthankaro ki samanya jaankari (24 Tirthankaran ki soochi, unka arth, aur Jain calendar ki samajh) saaf-suthre roop mein samjha sakta hoon.
