• Mahavira’s place in the cycle

- Mahavira is the 24th Tirthankar of the current Avsarpini (present half-cycle). He is considered the most recent Tirthankar, and his nirvana marks the end of this Avsarpini’s set of 24 Tirthankaras. In the next half-cycle (utsarpini) a new set of 24 Tirthankaras would arise. ( jainknowledge.com)

• Four broad phases (Are) within Avsarpini (concise terms)

- Avsarpini is traditionally described as a descending half-cycle divided into six phases (aras). For a compact frame, many summaries group its character into broader mood-progressions across time. The six-aras are: - suṣamā-suṣamā: utmost happiness - suṣamā: happiness - suṣamā-duḥṣamā: more happiness than sorrow - duḥṣamā-suṣamā: more sorrow than happiness - duḥṣamā: sorrow - duḥṣamā-duḥṣamā: utmost sorrow In this current Avsarpini, the third and fourth aras are when the 24 Tirthankaras are born and Dharma flourishes; the fifth and sixth aras reflect increasing decline. This framework is widely cited in Jain cosmology. Mahavira’s life is placed toward the end of the fourth ara in the current cycle, with ongoing decline through the fifth ara.

• Quick note on tradition differences

- The overall structure (two half-cycles, each with 24 Tirthankaras) is shared, but the names and exact phase labels can vary subtly between Digambara and Śvetāmbara texts. The broad idea — a descending Avsarpini with 24 Tirthankaras culminating in Mahavira — remains consistent across major Jain sources. ( jainknowledge.com)
