In Jain scriptures, there are not “12 Chakravartis before Bharat Chakravarti” – neither in Avasarpini nor in Utsarpini.

Let’s separate the points clearly:

1. Present time (Avasarpini Kaal)

In our current Avasarpini (descending half‑cycle):

• There are 12 Chakravartis in total in the whole Avasarpini.
• Bharat Chakravarti is the first Chakravarti of this Avasarpini.
• So, no Chakravarti exists “before Bharat” in our time‑cycle according to Jain tradition.

2. Future time (Utsarpini Kaal)

In the future Utsarpini (ascending half‑cycle):

• Again, there will be 12 Chakravartis in that Utsarpini.
• But the names of those future 12 Chakravartis are not given in the main Jain scriptures.
• Therefore, we also cannot say that there are “12 Chakravartis before Bharat” in Utsarpini, because:

- The names are not specified, and - Each half‑cycle (Avasarpini / Utsarpini) has its own separate 12 Chakravartis; they are not counted as “before” or “after” each other across cycles.

So according to authentic Jain cosmology:

• In Avasarpini: Bharat is the first Chakravarti; no 12 before him.
• In Utsarpini: there will be 12 Chakravartis, but their names and sequence are not detailed in the scriptures.
