WHEN WAS KUNDAKUNDA BORN
Acharya Kundakunda’s exact birth date is not historically certain.
According to traditional Jain belief and most modern scholars:
- He was born around the beginning of the 1st century CE (some place him in the 1st–2nd century CE).
- Birth region: South India, at a place called Konda‑konda (hence the name “Kundakunda”). ( jainknowledge.com)
So, we can only safely say: Acharya Kundakunda was born roughly in the early centuries of the Vikram era / around the 1st century CE, but no exact calendar date is agreed upon in either Digambar or Shvetambar traditions.
