About past and future cycles
Jain doctrine says there were many past cycles and will be many future cycles, and each one has 24 Tirthankars. However, Jain texts generally do not provide a separate named list for every single past and future cycle. The commonly given names are the 24 of the present cycle.If you want, I can also give these names in:
- Gujarati
- Sanskrit
- Hindi
- or in a simple table with order and symbols
