Shantinath Bhagwan ke kitne Sadhu the?

• Pramāṇik Jain śastraon ke anusar Shantinath (16th Tirthankar) ke 36 Ganadharas (mukh-sadhv) the. Yaani ki unke 36 pramukh sādhu the. (Bagair iske alawa, samagriyon mein anya likhanon me sadhuon ki sankhya alag-alag mil sakti hai, par Kshemātmak roop se Śvetāmbara pūrāṇon me 36 Ganadharas ka ullekha milta hai.)
• Digambar aur Śvetāmbara traditions ke beech kuch granthon me Ganadharāon ki sankhya ya vivaran alag mil sakta hai. Isliye keval Sankhya 36 ko aam taur par Śvetāmbara sāmānyik shraddha ke anusar maana jata hai, jabki Digambar granthon me anya vivaran mil sakte hain.

Samanya arth (arth) kehta hai: Shantinath ne apne samay par apne ganadharas ke saath bhakti, vairagya aur dharm ki prachar ki.

Aap chahen to main is vishay par aage ki vishesh grantho ki vyakhya bhi de sakta hoon.
